I cant seem to find a solid answer on this. I have read that the GT driveshaft works with a spacer, have read that it's too long and needs to be shortened (which Im not doing, I have an FMS aluminum ds, and dont trust anybody to weld it around here), have seen people say run the Cobra pinion flange with an 03-04 Cobra driveshaft, or run the 03-04 Cobra driveshaft with a conversion ujoint and use the GT pinion.

In most of the threads I have read, there has been more people confused, and arguing than anything. Whats my option, without shortening my driveshaft?

Yeah i noticed the same thing. Go to this link. Its the kit for the T56 and it says 'custom drive shaft'. I'm pretty sure they sell this individually as well. I don't know what you would have to do to yours.

D&D Performance - BA61/62 T-56 Magnum Kit 99-04 Mustang

Hope that helps. God knows i have been asking too many questions, just trying to get it right. That should show you what to do though

I have the D&D one. It's aluminum. Seems to work just fine. Not sure how much power it will put up with, but it took all the punishment I could give it while I was N/A and on slicks. Haven't made any passes with the blower yet.
