Larry,
My car will not clear a 4" shaft. I run a steel Shaft 63" long 3.5 diameter. I have turned it 10,200 through the traps pretty often. Most runs were near 9600 to slow down a little & save index. I was told it wouldn't do it, but I have over 200 runs on it. No signs of stress. I know I put more gear and similar power on it than your combo...Go for it...
