4000 Pounds of Iron Founding Member Nov 6, 1999 473 0 0 Nashville, TN Oct 5, 2005 #1 Oct 5, 2005 #1 I just swapped a carbed 5.0 and T5 into my 1986 former 3.8L/C5 convertible, and it seems that the driveshaft is too long. My junkyard has a bunch of 2.3L/auto cars but no 2.3 5-speeds -- can I use either driveshaft or only the T5 model? Help quick! I gotta get this thing on the road! 4k#Fe
