Probably have to use a rear end from a t-bird, or have a custom drive shaft or yoke made by a shop.

Good deal, is it balanced after being cut? Might want to double check for safety, search 05-09 thread someone here had a car ruined by a poorly made drive shaft. If it is balanced that is a hell of a deal and this project is awsome post a new thread on the whole project.
