thanks canadian, so with that info, it will have to be longer. same case then, go to the pick n pull, and find a long driveshafter from a pickup, preferably a full size pickup, with a diesel and in the 90s if you can find it.

then you can get a nice aluminum shaft thats stronger than stock and lighter, freeing up a couple hp. and it wont rust to hell. plus, most machinist rates are cheaper when dealing with aluminum, at least around here.

my DS for my camaro cost me 95 bux to have shortened, welded and balanced, it was from a 99 f350 superduty, 3.5 inch aluminum. weighed like 6 lbs or so, i cant remember but it was waaaay lighter than the stock steel one.
