I would say you're best bet is calling strange or mark williams. I would guess carbon fiber, but I'm not really sure at that horsepower. I run a 4"aluminum from Mark Williams in mine, but they want to know the length, horsepower, weight and rpm it will be turning out to recommend one.
Exactly. The recommendation will be based on a lot of factors-- driveshaft length, vehicle weight, gearing & tire diameter, maximum vehicle speed, etc.
I will say this: my friend ran 4" aluminum MW driveshafts in his Pro-Stock truck and in his new Pro-Stock car and never had an issue with them. HP is on par with what you have in mind but his vehicle weight is rather low.

I run a Jerry Bickle in mine. Chromemoly was around 450 bucks
godsend,
I would not use alum for what you are doing, I would go steel or chromoly.
In my opinion a 3.5" steel shaft would be overkill with 1350 solid U-joints. Since you are shipping it to Sweden the shipping costs will exceed the driveshaft costs so get the best one you can get. There are templates explaining how they measure on their website.
I would recommend Mark Williams if you don't have someone local to you that is capable. I use a local shop and they use the same materials and process that a Dennys would be for considerably less cost and I can get one in the same day.

The 3-1/2" in Chromoly driveshaft offers a 19% higher critical speed and a 22% increase in torsional strength. Comes with Heavy Duty Impact Joints and dynamically balanced. (Transmission yoke not included.) Check service bulletin # 0049 for operating limits and critical speed charts.
B - What 1350 series pinion yoke will be used? :
E - Trans. seal to rear U-joint centerline:

You are about 40" so there would be a degree of overkill using the 44" spec:
Your critical speed with a 40" shaft would probably be about 8900RPM with the 4130 3.5", notice it is higher with the 3.5" steel shaft?
The 4" won't fit all applications but it would be extreme overkill. I know people who run more than 1500hp with MORE than 1000lbs more weight than you with 3.5" steel shafts, so any aftermarket shaft will do with a light car like yours.

I had to go with the 4" aluminum due to the 55 inch length and crossing the finish line at 7400 rpm.
