Same guy who is building the super and turbocharged V12 360 is building a winter car (360 also) with B230 redblock turbo for himself.. He made this in few days..
Now that's pretty nifty Do you know what he used to mate to the torque tube splines? Dave was thinking you could use a suitably sized output shaft flange from a diff (i.e. the piece between the diff and the half-shaft).
That is awesome! Only one end of the 'link' needs to be removable, so if you weld up the 'thin' splined end, then use the huge Getrag splines for the 'disconnect'...job done
That's quite craftsmanship. As he shortened the torque tube about ~9cm, the bearings in the torque tube came closer to the intake shaft of the box so he thinks the bearing is near enough to handle the support for Getrag's intake shaft so extra bearing for intake shaft should not be needed.

When you have traction, you start blowing up the drivetrain very quickly with the powerlevels of 250hp and above, so a setup like that gives you much less trouble with the drivetrain when you don't have to swap the box/diff every other week.
