Default can a T56 take a 1 piece prop ?

hi there

for my project the easiest option is for me to get a custom 1 piece prop built but the gto that my ls1 and t56 came from uses a 2 piece prop

can a t56 use/take a 1 piece prop or do i have to use a 2 piece with fixed centre bearing ???


many thanks

Finlay

yup, no problem as long as your driveline angles are good

F-bodies use a 1-piece driveshaft.

If your MK2 escort is staying near stock ride height, it shouldn't be terribly difficult to set up a shortened driveline with an angle at the pinion yoke about the same as the angle of the slip yoke, or slightly greater at the pinion (to maintain some bearing movement.)
