Default Tremec box question

When fitting a tremec box to the Cossie, i understand that the nose of the propshaft has to be changed, but does the prop have to be shortened at all?

Cheers for that, i think the Escort shaft is about 2" shorter.

Anyone know of any advantage of going for a single piece prop?

I think on the use of single piece props you dont loose as much power due to the amount of joints and the twisting/torque forces acting on it and also they will take a bit more power as long as they are built and balanced correctly !!!
