S52 swap using E21 shaft? Cause if using a E36 shaft there's the telescoping center that easily makes up for this.
There were several different E21 shaft lengths if I remember. We laid a few shafts on the floor when building ours to cut the best choice out of the bunch. I think different years and auto vs manual, 6 hole vs 8 hole guibos etc.
Cutting 1/4" hmm if e21 subframe just move in the diff in the slots a bit. If another subframe yeah probably going to have to cut down a front shaft.
S52 motor I'd want a E36 or E30 6cyl shaft.
