LS1 Driveshaft Specs

[garretvs]

Use a standard GM driveshaft from a Camaro or Firebird, withthe rear end modified with a JagsThatRun diff flange.

A nice thing would be to also change the front yoke to a "Strap-Style" u-joint to make installation and removal of the transmission or drive shaft easier (no removal of the diff.....)

It does. You'll need to space down the front of the diff slightly (3 washers for me).

3 Washers for each of the four bolts? or 3 washers for just the 2 front bolts?

my 3" is a snug fit... diff is shimmed down. but also close to tank...

Yup, just waiting for the front slip yoke to measure the correct length

I don't, and I won't have my car back for about a week but I can take some then. ^ that looks like it'll work fine.

Do you have pics of the shaft installed on both ends? This one is my MMX composite... ��

It does. You'll need to space down the front of the diff slightly (3 washers for me).

A cop crown Vic makes a nice 3" aluminum DS donor. Cut to fit, it's a mile long.

P71 Interceptor shaft is 3.5", would this fit through the rear subframe?
