So for a custom driveshaft you push the yolk all the way up into the transmission and measure from the centerline of where the u-joint would go and to the flat flange on the rear end. This is all at ride height. You then subtract 3/4” and give that dimension to the shop building the driveshaft.

No chance. More of a salt water issue than an ecological disaster.@General karthief

He is referring to the oil leaks,

A slight Rear-Main leak would have prevented all that rust.

Yeah. Gonna need a new flywheel. And pilot bearing.
And apparently the rear main was leaking. Just not enough to keep the rust off the clutch. So. Hooray! I hate money.

Hell, except for the rust, that flywheel, PP, and clutch looks it could be scuffed up and tossed back in.
Is there a ridge in the flywheel that we can't see in the image?

There is a SLIGHT tactile ridge on the flywheel. I might try cleaning it and see if it's just corrosion or actual wear. This clutch only has about 15k on it. The friction surface isn't bad at all, but the rest is a hot mess.
Blocking plate will be here this week. There wasn't one at all. Along with a new rear main, and bolt/dowel kit for the pressure plate. If I can get away with using the flywheel, that'd be great.
Time to run to home depot and get some degreaser and a tray to put under the engine so I can get it all cleaned up.

You should have the flywheel surfaced. Looks a bit rough for a new clutch to break in on. Cheaper than a new one and you might be able to find a shop that could knock it out tomorrow or Sat.
At the advice from a buddy I hit it with a random orbit sander and some 400 grit. There's zero lip now. Still some hot spot burns in one spot, but I'm feeling better about it.
