driveshaft

would anyone tell me where i can find a driveshaft that will fit my 8.8 rear end and my t-5 tranny? i kinda want a new one but i will pull off a salvage yard car if i can get a good one.

 

did you swap a 8.8? and a t5? or are we talking stangs?

your 69.5 is a 7.5 rear (most likey)

 

Best bet is to have one made instead of dealing with crappy old parts. I had mine made by The DriveLine Shop for my T5/9" combo. I think they are in MO. Told the guy what my application was, he sent me a new 3" diameter piece with new yokes, u-joints, and T5 slip yoke, balanced as an assembly and shipped to my door for $200. You just need to give them details like u-joint center-to-center distance and what trans and rear you're running.

 

i wouls suspect a stock fox body mustang would work!!!!

 

We have a Ford Racing 79-93 Aluminum drive shaft on Tammy's same t-5/8.8 combo

 

I useone with a c4 and 8 inch!!!! Nice swap. Just need to swap the rear ujoint for a precision 331 or =

 

Barry; could you send me the contact info for the place that made your shaft? I am going to need one, and that sounds like the place to go. My email is: earlbranham@bellsouth.net, or pm me. Thanks,
