Default Driveshaft question?
I have a Strange 12 bolt I am going to put into my Formula. My question is: Can I use my driveshaft or do I need to order one that fits?

TIA

Ron

Same shaft, you just need to change the U joint.

NAPA conversion U-joint #240-0447. Saginaw to 1350 Yoke (if you got the 1350 yoke on the rear)

Stronger 12 bolt. I would upgrade the driveshaft aswell. Strange Engineering also have strong driveshaft to go along w/ their 12 bolt.

Stock shaft will be too long. Driveshaft will bottom out on tail shaft and pinion bearings causing failure.
