Default Will an LT1 steel driveshaft fit LS1 car ?????

i found a stock steel driveshaft from a 1997 SS LT1 and i was wondering if it will bolt right into my 1998 SS LS1......i plan on getting a MWC 9" this summer and i wonder if this would be a good alternative or if i should just spend the extra dough and buy an aftermarket steel driveshaft.....mostly my car is driven on the street, but will this steel LT1 shaft hold a few 5k rpm launches from a 4.10 gear full weight m6 car?....what would be a good price for one of these LT1 driveshafts?

Yes it will work, no they are not strong. I tried selling mine for $50 for months before I threw it out.

You're got to pay to play, that's why I'm still running a stock engine without any forced induction
