Default custom driveshaft question

https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids/1812547-awd-lsx-t56-scratch-build.html


That's the link to the car I'm building. Or at least the pieces of it.

My question is, I need to get a driveshaft made to go from the transfer case to the front diff. It's definitely going to have to be a 2 piece due to the angle of it.

It's 48" long from transfer case to the rear of the engine ( roughly where the carrier bearing needs to be) then 18" from carrier bearing to front diff. It's not 100% set in stone since I can always move the front diff back and forth making it 105-110 wheelbase.

What i need(want) - 66-69" driveshaft 2 piece to handle (let's say..) 1000awhp turning at (let's say..) 8000rpms and capable of 200+mph.

Questions-

What would be the smallest diameter shaft to be able to handle that?

What material should I use? (Steel, aluminum or carbon fiber)

I doubt any local guys here can do this, so who would be the company everyone would go to, to get this done?

..I hope it's even possible.

Any help is much appreciated.
