Aluminum driveshafts, with a twist December 10, 2007, 03:39:09 PM I'm sure this topic has been discussed before:I know some of the turbo coupe guys from nato and turboford have gone with a cut/rewelded/rebalanced factory aluminum driveshaft. Either off of a Crown Vic or an Aerostar I believe.What I'm looking for is an aluminum shaft for an 88 turbocoupe with a t-5 BUT with a 9 inch rear instead of the stock 8.8Any Ideas??thanksDarrell Quote Selected
