Ok, I have my original driveshaft from my 78 mustang, I had a 2.8V6 and C3 combo. I measured the length from Ujoint center to Ujoint center and got about 49". I now have a RAD-4 ( hopefully soon to be T-5 ) and a 2.3L (turbo'ed).
Does anyone know what length my drive shaft needs to be? I've been looking at the junk yards for one from a MII w/ 2.3 and RAD-4 but no such luck. I was wondering if there was another car that would work, before I fork over $80 to have mine cut and reballanced.
Also, if you don't know the length I need, what the best way to measure it? I started by putting the yolk all the way into the transmission and marked the drive shaft where the U-Joint should be. Do I have another inch hacked off of that? I'm really hoping I can find one at the junk yard today because I really, really want to see these rear tires turn on their own power.
