got a couple questions. first, i cant seem to dig this exact number up anywhere. i am putting a pretty much stock 8.5 rear in my monte. in front will be a 200-4R. i need the length of the driveshaft to be used with these two. i dont have the rear in, obviously. i dont want to get it in, measure, then have to wait for one to come in. id rather have all the parts and then throw it together. i tried searching, and asking on other boards with no such luck. so i figured if anyone should know it would be the people who have them. so does anyone know the length i need. my rough guess is 51in or so.
second question...
does any manufacturer have a off the shelf one i can buy. where i can call and have it shipped same day or so. or are they pretty much built to order from most places. i am looking at a larger than stock, 3in, shaft. and am undecided on what material i should be looking at. i am aware they use chromoly, aluminum, and some steel. besides weight/rotating mass is it better to go with a thicker aluminum, or a normal rolled type moly steel.
third...
what type of yokes should i be looking for. i called a couple places and they asked me a bunch of question relating to what size yoke i wanted, and the spline on each. i have no idea what the stock spline is, and they had no record on hand to tell them. again specific company i should look to over another for yokes? and does anyone know what the stock spline is? and if i can have more added with using the stock input in the trans? i mean if it were 27 could i make it a 31 and still have it work with the stock input, or do i have to stick with 27.
sorry for the long post guys, but i just want to get this right the first time out. thanks in advance
