How/Can aluminum Aerostar shaft go onto a 94 GT?

[UpRise_5.0]

Hey,

What do I need to do to get an Aluminum Aerostar drive shaft on my car?

Can it be done?

What length should it be?

Thanks

I have one, it needs to have the ford large to small conversion (1310 to 1330) u joints, it is 45.5 (I think) inches long. You reuse your spline and tail housing mounts on the aluminum driveshaft. It is also only 3" versus 3.5 for the FRP one. I checked with Spicer who makes the alum one and Ford Racing Help line to see if they thought it would be weak but they both said unless I had 700+ HP the 3" would be fine.

I think that you need to make sure when you go looking for one get one off a AWD Aerostar, that is what mine came off and it works great!

this is interesting... what years Aerostars have them and only the 4wd ones??

Aerostars could be 4wd? Now that is interesting.
