    Stock driveshafts work fine. Not a lot to gain by a high dollar light weight job. If ur motor is set back you might have to get it shortned. Weld a loop or 2 around it to keep it from dropping down to the track.

      I would agree with Jb35. And most importantly, particularly if you have it modified even slightly, or have the U-joints replaced, have the finished product BALANCED before use. -Dave-

        Some rangers came with a stock aluminum driveshaft. If you can use one, it would save you a bunch of rotating weight.

          Aerostar vans had aluminum drivelines...i use a maverick or comet driveline and slide the engine back
          No matter how hard you try...you cant fix stupid!!!

          If you build it right...it will turn left!!!

            A friend of mine has an aerostar shaft, whatever one he got is WAY too long for a mustang. and not any lighter IMO.

              with the small diameter the rotating weight is not that big of a deal. a lighter wheel will be of more benefit.
