FMS aluminum driveshaft
Does anyone know what the difference is between the aluminum driveshafts for the 5.0s and the 4.6s? Ford Racing only lists 2 different ones- 1 for 96+ and one I think for 79-95. I would assume it depends on which transmission you have...not what engine you have. The reason I ask is that I have a friend with a 95 who just sold his car and will give it to me at no cost. Is there any way to make it fit?

It will not fit as I had one on my 85 SVO and when I sold it I tried to put it on my 98 GT and it would not fit on the tranny side.

Is there any way to change the yokes to make it fit? I know the guys with automatics can use their stock front yoke with the alum. ds and it works just fine
actually I found my answer...all I have to do is change the slip yokes. Now I just have to figure out how many and part numbers :icon_scra |
But is it balanced right for our trannys? Thats all I would be worried about, is unnecessary wobble and such. Cool though if it will work.

Just get a front yoke that fits and you will be ok. |
yeppers balancing has nothing ot do with the tranny.

apparently there is no difference in the 79-95 and 96+ driveshafts except for the yokes...the rest is identical |
Awesome, learn something new every day. Thanks guys

Back in 1978 when I was racing a 66 Mustang I swapped tranny's and had to have a drive shaft shortend. I took it to a shop that specialized in drive shaft and drive trains and they cut it, welded on a different yoke and balanced it. Worked great and was not expensive. I would think you could do the same.
