Anyone have an aerostar driveshaft?

[nick6690]

I picked one up at a junkyard for $17 but I noticed that its smaller in diameter than a FRPP one. Should I be worried about it breaking? I run my car at the track with drag radials. Thanks for any help.

Youll be fine just make sure the u joints are good.

well you'll have to buy the conversion u-joints too. I had mine already to go then scored a deal on the FRPP one. Hold them side by side and there is no comparison in diameter. But the aerostar one should be ok for ya.

Does anyone have a part number or an application for the conversion u-joints?

i don't know if i'm misreading your post, but the aerostar shaft IS smaller in diameter.

you shouldn't have any issues at all with the aerostar shaft though. it's a very common mod. like said before, just need to get the correct u-joints.

After looking at NAPAs site it looks like the complete number is PUJ 353.

Anyone know what these driveshafts are good for as far as HP goes?

I'm running it for about 4-5 months now. Working good as ever.
