swapping motors shouldn't affect anything like that
unless the trans shiffted position while the motor was out it should be fine
Why was the driveshaft even removed?

all turbo driveshafts for the FC are the same length
unless you swapped in an S5 NA it should fit
you may have to loosen a few things up and move the engine/trans forward
