welcome to the forum Motard.
You should be worried about a "cut and shut" drive shaft. If not done properly they can be very dangerous and unreliable. They are seldom done over here and are illegal to do anyway.
Have you read the thread about EJ conversions? There should be some info in there.
Are you using the standard EA81 4spd gearbox or have you dropped the EJ box in as well?
Good luck with it.
Cheers
Bennie

You should be able to mix and match driveshaft parts to make one the correct length using standard parts. Search abit on the forum it should be covered somewhere. Well done on the progress so far!

good work so far mate, as andrewt said mix and match sharfts to get what you need, as for custom length lower arm look here
showthread.php?t=4919&page=42
check out the whole thread will help you heaps with your car.
as far as spark plugs go put platnum or irridium plugs in so you only have to change every 100,000km
