Hey everyone,

I was wondering if I would have to shorten the driveshaft on my 1968 Coupe with a 302 if I put in a T-5? Thanks

Alright, I have read up on the swap and it seems that some people have had to shorten it and some have not. I guess I will start looking for a shop that can shorten it for me. Any recommendations of where to look?

Call your local speed shop. Usually they will know where to go.
