The ONLY way to measure "X-dim"/prop shaft depth is with the prop shaft parallel to the bottom.

You can always get a shortie lower

Getting a x dimension of 3.5 must be worth a couple miles per hour

Nothing, it will bring the prop shaft up. The X stays the same. Since the X is the distance from crank to bottom.

It depends on how short it is... There are 1", 2" and 3" shorties - and they're 1", 2" and 3" shorter that standard length.
