Default GTO T56 Slip Yolk Coupler onto F-body T56?

Gents,

I'm looking to incorporate a flex disc in my driveline to minimize shock loads on my diff / axles. I have an F-body T56 and came across the splined slip-yolk adapter a'la the LS2 GTO's.



Does anyone know if this will fit the F-body T56 output shaft, or is more extensive modification required?

Thanks,

Chuck

Wondering what you've learned about this, Chuck?

I'm also doing an E36 swap. My T56 is from a GTO and I have the slip yoke pictured above, but without the rubber disc. Trying to make a plan for how to properly transition to the driveshaft.

Didn't learn anything. I abandoned the T56 and will be using a T56 magnum, so the GTO slip yolk won't work now anyway as the mag requires a 31 spline.

The Australian Ford Falcon T56 and TR6060 use a slip yoke similar to that of the GTO T56 except it is a 31 spline yoke. Should be relatively easy to import one.

I see. I'm not too familiar with the T56 Magnum...will have to do some Googling.

I guess a simple 27 spline Yoke http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-DRIVESHAFT-SLIP-YOKE-27-SPLINE-3R-GM-MUNCIE-GM-T-56-BORG-WARNER-T-4-GM-T-5-/290300887571?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4397480213&vxp=mtr should be all I need.
