Well, prior to his install and moving everything forward, the driveshaft
was at a pretty severe angle.  You would at least end up with the same
problem (tcase output would be further back although your pinion would be
higher unless you also swap in a 9").

I dunno about the bellhousing so I can't say for sure.
