I'm going to get my original driveline with the 3.5" bolt circle flex disk extended 2.25 inches. This has been the most frustrating part of this swap. I wish I would have just bit the bullet and had it done to begin with.

So you are assuming that the 3.6 would break the smaller drive shaft.
It sounds to me like maybe you’ve got bigger yokes on the trans and diff than the yokes from your 260e drive shaft.
Am I following your logic?
(I just in the last few minutes got my wagon to my home, and think my manual swap issue is the CPS tabs missing from my flywheel. But I’m quite a way off from even thinking about starting on a manual swap in that car.)
