I have a pile of driveshafts out in the garage from various cars so I decided to measure them.I would like to tabulate a list of the various lengths to help out anyone doing engine swaps, so if you know any more feel free to post them.These are measured from the centerline of the u-joints.1991 Mustang 2.3 A4LD(42 7/8"),1989 Mustang 2.3 T-5(45.5"),1986 Mustang 2.3 C-3(47 7/8"),1988 T-bird Turbo-coupe 2.3 T-5 (48"),1984 T-bird Turbo-coupe 2.3 T-5 (48.5").The V-8 fox Mustang T-5/C-4/AOD driveshaft appears to be the same length as the 4 cyl one at 45.5".

 

They had a guy lose his drive shaft on pinks, they pulled another out of a 4 banger mustang in the parking lot so he could do his last run. He blew that one up too.

 

Thats alot of driveshafts kicking around!

 

I have a pile of old driveshafts, mostly out of the 60`s and 70`s Ford products. Seems like I was collecting them for a while.....

 

I might head out to Buck's and measure a bunch.I read somewhere that someone was using an aluminum one from an AWD Aerostar in a Mustang.

 

That would be cool. Are you building a mustang or something that you have all of those other ones laying around?

 

Let me know what you find. It would be alot cheaper than buying a new one.

 

How common are awd aerostars though...?
