You betcha-ass there is!!!......I have been asked NUMEROUS times to
design such
a beast, plus I personally know someone who can most DEFINITELY use
it....Right
Vance?? ;) ......BTW Paul, how long is long?? :)

Say 30 inches instead of 14 inches. Shaft MUST be four inches
in diameter as torsional resonant frequency would DEFINITELY come into the
picture.

Paul &Butch,
I was considering this as part of my PSRU and bellhousing package.
My solution was to have an insert between the bellhousing and the PSRU - to
what ever additional length requirement. This then would reduce the need for
the extra long [output] shaft and keep it to about 3" - keeping it all modular - what
do you think !?

Well that moves the CG of the PSRU. I was thinking of keeping the weight
of the PSRU as close to the engine as possible to ease (pardon the pun.) 
the CG problem.
