C.V. Tail shaft

[RB30-ZED]

Ive been thinking about using a CV drive shaft for a tailshaft. If I machine down the slip joint so I can weld a flange to it, I could run a shaft from something like a independent rear end V8 or turbo car. as the tail shaft handles about half the torque that an axle has to it should be strong enough.

This would let me run a higher joint angle and reduce driveline vibration. Has any one seen cv's used at both ends of a tail shaft?

I've often thought about this same subject being these driveshafts are so short on the Z. In fact, my drive shaft is only a couple of inches longer than one entire half shaft w/companion flange.
