Default TRS Lower unit shortie

Does anyone have any information on a trs lower unit shortie?
How much shorter is it than the standard 280 trs drive etc etc etc?
Also, do you know where I could locate 2?
Thanks,

I don't think they exist. Even if they do, they couldn't be too much shorter because of prop clearance. I think the easiest way to raise the propshaft with a TRS is to remove them and install Konrads w/ shorties. It sure wouldn't be the cheapest way but I think the easiest.

I'm hoping you're not refering to an SSM II. It's a speedmaster type lower on a TRS upper. It's actually taller than the starndard TRS.
There was a thread in the tech section a couple years ago about someone modifying a TRS (I think) to a shorter drive.
