Ok, so I understand that throwing a 617 into a 240D body requires modifying 3/4's (major components)  of the drive train to accommodate the extra length of the engine. That's fine. What I wonder is, does the auto and manual trans differ in lengths as well? Wouldn't it be easier to mount a 4spd into a 300d body (since all of them are auto)? Wouldn't that only require modifying 1/4 of the drive train? I assume this is only if the trans lengths are the same. Probably an easy question to answer, this has been bothering me for some time.

Could I just switch the halfshafts as they are in the picture? A balance would be in order too I suppose. Maybe there is no other way around cutting the driveshaft.
