About 20 years ago I swapped out the 3.08s for 3.73s in my otherwise stock '87 LX 5.0. Now I'm wondering, with the stock steel driveshaft spinning that much faster, what its critical speed might be.
I'm thinking about swapping in an aluminum Aerostar driveshaft. Yeah, I know Ford Racing has a better one, but this isn't an excuse to spend money, it's purely a safety thing.
Does anybody have any info on safe top speeds with 3.73s and the stock D/S?
Thanks! Carl
