From what I've heard it is only the from the aerostars with AWD and you have to use a different yoke, I'm sure if you search here you can find the part number or someone else will chime in

you can use the 2wd one if you want to pay to have it shortened. The one i used the input shaft was fine but i had to change the rear u joint an use the mustang rear flange.

just based on weight . . . they seem pretty weak.

The best factory/junkyard available aluminum driveshaft is the one out of the Mark VIIIs . . . but those will have to be shortened.
