Just my uninformed opinion, but it seems to me that the transmission and
differential both move on their mounts enough to matter, not to mention the
frame itself flexing.  Transmitting all that force to ball bearings not
designed for side loading seems like a bad idea to me.

But YMMV and all that.  Might be OK for a race car that only has to last a
few hundred miles.

I was thinking the same thing...but then I remembered that most Heralds had a big, heavy, SOLID propeller shaft....
