I think you posed this question on FB too? ;-) Your King driveshaft will bolt right in with no modifications.
It will bolt in but it will most likely need shortened about 1", that seems to be the average for a T5 swap. There are a few variables here. The best way is to crawl under the car and get a best guesstimate, then take the driveshaft to a shop and have them shorten it to your specification. I did this for mine and it was indeed 1".
I'm not 100% sure what my overall length is to be honest. Let me know if you don't have a driveshaft at all and need to have one made, I'll crawl under my car and measure it for you.
Btw, welcome to Stangnet!

Thanks for the info. It actually doesn’t have a drive shaft, so I’ll need to get one.
Sorry. I forgot about this when I got home from work yesterday. I've now set a reminder in my phone so I can get that for you.
As luck would have it, I got stuck at work late yesterday so my reminder did me absolutely no good. It's reset and I'll try to get to it tonight.
Ok, this will be a ROUGH measurement, but should get you in the ballpark. I was in a pretty bad position to ensure I was measuring from both U-joint centerlines, but CL to CL was around 44-45".
