I am thinking about doing it, but don't want to waste my money.

I wouldn't bother with a stick car if you are going to put sticky tires on it. I've seen too many break with just bolt-ons.

Well the only thing I've done related to a driveshaft would be helping my friend install a different rear on his duster. I don't remember it being very difficult.

It takes seriously about 20 minutes on a lift to swap, and that's bull-shitting with the guy next to me about our cars. I got an LS1 in mine for cheap, and weighed it on the digital scale at work, it weighed 12 lbs with the Yoke on it. I notice that there is no more vibration when I get up in speed. Hit 135 with the old motor and had no vibration at all. Haven't taken it up high on the new motor.
