Marc - The machine shop that made my high-strength couplers said 
that they could make the input shafts as well.  The per-piece cost 
is based on the number of pieces made, because much of the cost of 
making machined parts is in the initial setup.  I would have to ask 
them what it would be for a one-off.  I don't know if they are open 
between Christmas and New Years, but I will give a call tomorrow and 
find out.  I get the impression that you are looking for a shaft 
that is based on the original, but extends forward the 1/2" to make 
up for the spacer plate that you are putting between the 
transmission and the engine.  Is that about the extent of it (no pun 
intended)?  BTW - Watch out on the 3.5L ... it has the same issue 
with air gathering in the top of the engine, causing a localized 
over-heat.  My brother had an LHS with that motor, and wound up 
having to replace the engine.  A "self-bleeder" will take care of it.

I will let you know what I find out about the shaft.  You'll 
obviously want one of my couplers as well, right?  I'll throw in the 
high-strength spiral roll pin.
