Modifying automatic driveshaft

[oscarsx]

I'm working on a 5 speed swap for my s14, I've been looking everywhere including here and shipping prices are pretty nuts. Still hoping to find one locally.

Anyways, I have a buddy of mine that does customers fabrication on different model cars, he offered to help me out on the swap.

Now my question is, is it the automatic driveshaft too long for it to work on my 5speed swap? He said he could cut and weld to make it fit, but my concerns is whether that's all that needs to be done, or is there other things to it than just simply cutting and welding.

Any advice would be grateful, thx.

Ps it's a non abs
