Thanks dudes.

If you find the appropriate u-joints I suppose you could.

But the length will be a problem after you figure out how to get them to mate to the axles. You'll have to have them lengthened and balanced anyways, might as well have the appropriate yolks put in place so you don't have such small caps on one end and larger on the other so to speak.

Not in stock form and driveshafts are pretty cheap in the whole equation of a SAS.

It's technically possible. But Very unlikely. The length and yoke are likely different. The CV style of the front shaft is very limiting as well.

All in all, it would be crazy to try to design around a driveshaft. Much better things to worry about.
