This is fantastic! Thank you Sam for bringing this adaptation to our attention. I will be using this on my triple digit build. Too easy, I say. Spin up some 1045 for adapters and away we go.

I pulled up the parts break down for one of these shafts. From what I can tell these shafts appear to be DOM tubing and the parts diagram shows an alignment pin in the engine adapter. This could pose some difficulty for installation and removal without pulling the engine. But if this pin were replaced with a spring loaded ball it could snap into place without removing the engine. Another benefit to keeping the ends aligned would be to keep from destroying the the coupling if/when the barrels shear.
Yes, I tend to overthink things.
