2010年2月18日 · FYI, drive shaft u-joint angle should be between 1/2 to 3 degrees. Always install your u-joints in such a way that the torque being transmitted through the u-joint "tries" to close the hole where the grease zerk is, rather than trying to open up the hole.

2007年7月31日 · Hello Everybody, I did a trial fit on my drive shaft tonight and discovered that I only got 3 of a possible 5 inches engaged on the C4 tail shaft splines. The C4 appears to be about an inch shorter then the T5 was. This is an '83 Mustang T5 to C4 swap. If it was just a street car I wouldn't...

2010年9月2日 · Having done the exact same swap, you should not need a new yoke, shorten the driveshaft, or get a new cross member. To use the original crossmember, make four extensions to drop it about 1.25" from the original location using 1" steel stock from the hardware and extra bolts, to put it in the same position as the old output shaft (to get the ...

2007年11月26日 · Your best bet without narrowing will be a Maverick rear end. That is as narrow as it gets but still not as narrow as the stock Falcon rear. The Falcon is 56" wheel to wheel. The Maverick is 56.5 IIRC. It is a bolt in swap but will require that you shorten your drive shaft.

2010年10月11日 · We are restoring our Old Gal this winter. And just thought I would post the progress on here. Also we are selling items that we are not putting back on the car. There is always a story behind the paint of a car. As we are stripping the car down to metal the abuse she has suffered over her life...

2007年7月1日 · I do, and I was wondering if anyone else does? I have seen and fixed a few of them that were done at professional shops that were way out of whack. It is a pretty easy project if you know how to cut, measure and weld. Obviously you will need a driveshaft that is longer than the one you will be...

2009年5月17日 · The picture of the drive shafts are of the 63 Falcon (the short one) and of the 74 Maverick (the long one). I only have the shaft for the Maverick the one for the Falcon went with the Falcon when I sold it but it can still be cut down to fit if needed.

2019年6月1日 · It can even be dissembled for cleaning if desired. Includes a nice double male link bar adapter from the box to the transmission speedo gear. It was originally designed as a Corvette distributor tach drive but should work great in its new application. The short 6 or 7" speedo cable shown came with my GV toploader kit.

2004年4月22日 · Even different rear ride height can affect the drive shaft length (tranny and rear are farther apart if the rear of the car is raised, closer if lowered). When I did mine I had the car sitting on the wheels, the tranny yoke was backed out 3/4" and I measured from the center of the tranny yoke u-joint to the center of the rear yoke u-joint.
