Getting ready to do a T5 transplant in my 55 with a 235. Researching driveshaft and rear u joint options. What size u joint as in 1310, 1330 or 1350 is stock for a 55 2nd 3100? I am thinking that a shortened S10 will work but not sure what it has either.

Just finish installing a 261 with a T5 tranny in my '55. I used the original '55 driveline. Shortened the driveline about 3". Also used the original '55 rear end.

Did you use the yoke from a S10 at the trans end?
