Question Drive shaft length

Does anyone know the length of an Aerostar driveshaft from center of u-joint to center of u-joint? (for a 2 wheel drive model)

Just so you are not ignored here, I checked the Ford service manual and while there are all kinds of specs for driveshaft angle, deviation, etc, etc, unfortunately there is no spec for the length you need. Sorry.

Drive shaft length

I measured up an aluminum driveshaft in a 4X2 Aerostar to use in my race car and I seem to recall that it was 55 inches from center of u-joint to center of u-joint.

Thanks Racerguy,
That's just the info. I was looking for. I am thinking of the same thing for my Lincoln Mark VII...replacing my stock shaft with an aluminum one. My stock shaft measures 53 1/4" center to center, which should make the Aerostar shaft easily modified to fit my application.

I have a 94 that came with a steel drive shaft, but that was replaced with the aluminum after the recall on the drive train affecting the tranfer case and drive shaft.
