For those looking for a way to lose the huge rubber "do-nut":
I put a gearbox from a sierra into my old cortina many many moons ago. Found the cortina yoke didn't fit the sierra box, so went back to the scrappy with the box and raided his propshaft collection. Found that the yoke from a hilman vogue fitted the sierra box in terms of the splines, just needed to be shortened by about an inch. Even the UJ's matched.
Back to the original question, if you get it lined up properly and your welding is good there should be no problem except possibly/probably balancing.
