ford parts in a toyota?!?! BLASHPEMY!!! haha. actually, now a days, if i was going to buy a car/truck...id prolly buy a ford...

gonna start a 5 speed swap and twin turbo project on my buddies 06 f150 this next year. that oughta be interesting: 600 hp twin turbo 5 speed 06 4x4 f150 rolling a 4 inch lift and 35s (he already has 35s on with a 2" level). can you say, corvette surpriser?

anyway, im gettin off subject. i think as long as the shaft you get is balanced properly you will be perfectly fine. an aluminum shaft, as long as its a decent one, would even be strong enough for a GTE. there are 600+ hp camaros and firebirds runnin around with 2.5-3 inch aluminum shafts. i used a stock 1LE aluminum shaft for my 84 z28 and had close to 400 hp. never had a problem.
