I know that you're supposed to measure the driveshaft on every application and that every car's a little different, but here's the deal:

I need to know if there's a general dimension I can give ACPT for my carbon fiber shaft that they can go off. It takes 2 weeks to build a DS and I don't want to wait until the rearend comes in. (Another 2 weeks)

I'll be using 1350 U Joints and the shaft is a 3.8 OD if that makes a difference.

I was told by a reputable shop that I can simply get a shaft 1/2' shorter than stock and it'll be fine. Do you agree?

Thanks in advance.

Get rid of the 4l60e fooooo!!!!. I just used a stock driveshaft with no problems.

Stock length worked for me also. If you use adjustable controls arms you can always adjust them out to move the rearend back some.

Sweet! I had a guy named Carl build it for me. I think it should be okay.

Do you guys think a 3.5" LPE Aluminum shaft will be okay? How fast is it good for? Thanks.

If I'm getting a 1350 U Joint on the rear, do I have to have the same on the Driveshaft? I'm stupid.

The u joint goes in the driveshaft, and you use the caps to connect it to the rear. Very easy.

With the stock driveshaft you will need a 1310/1350 cross over u-joint. Napa sells them.
If your gonna have one made, you can specifiy you want a 1350 end on the driveshaft when it's made.

I had to have .75 inches taken off my stock driveshaft when I installed my 12-bolt rear with the 1350 yoke. The stock shaft fit but, left almost no gap for suspension travel. I guess every car is a little different.
I had a Denny's driveshaft built and, measured per their website and, it was just about an inch shorter than the stock shaft.

Thanks, ACPT said the standard is .75 shorter than stock. I went with the Colonel style shaft.

Thanks again guys.
