I'm converting this to a 350 turbo, keeping the Dana 44 rear end. From my measurments, the turbo is a couple of inches longer to the tail. My question is: Can I go to a 1 piece driveshaft? The length from U-joint to u-joint is only about 64". Does anyone know if there is a shaft that will fit right in? The truck is going to be a cruiser with an occasional burnout or two so I don't need anything heavy enough for racing. Or, should I just stick with the original 2 piece? I think I'll still need a shorter front shaft anyways. As always, your advice is greatly appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 150 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 150 | The best answer to your question is call the shop(s) you plan to have the driveshaft done and ask them.
As far as the junkyard find, doubt it. Also, one would need to consider replacing the universals with new ones, cleaning up the shaft, checking for straightness and rebalancing. My vote would be make the phone call, you may be suprised how far a couple hundred dollars will go.
Good luck. | | |
