Convert M50D2 Long Shaft conversion to Short Shaft

[charlesrg]

Lucky I've got a Brand New M50D2 here in USA. I want to race it in my Inflatable Cat.
The problem is that it's a Long Shaft (20 Inches).

Does anybody have any experience converting tohatsu shaft lengths ?

I'm looking to convert it to a Short Shaft, Looking at the parts manual I've got the part numbers.

3C8Q611911 DRIVESHAFT HOUSING S (AMB)
3C8651000M WATER PIPE S
3C8660120M CAM ROD S
3C8643010 DRIVE SHAFT S
3C8013031 Engine Basement Gasket
3C8610121 Drive Shaft Housing Gasket


It's so expansive to buy the parts, it gets about 1/3 of the engine price to replace the shaft. I wish I could buy something Short Shaft here so I would sell the engine and buy a Short.

Anybody there have those and wants to trade ?
