I just picked up a rebuilt 8.8 (new yukon axles, dif rebuilt) from a wrecked 97 cobra for $150
I am familiar with the 8.8 swap - welding on the spring perches, the width difference, etc, but one thing I did not see covered in most posts is the driveshaft flange.
The 8.8" has the new flat flange, my factory 9 inch has older 1350 style u-joint flange.
What is the best way to solve this problem? Leave the 8.8 alone and get a driveshaft made? I do not want to cut my original 70 driveshaft (Ill just store it). Even if I could bolt the 1350 u joint flange onto the 8.8 (guessing I cant), the stock driveshaft would still be too long.
How has everyone else tackled this? My car has the FMX...would it be possible to make a junkyard AOD driveshaft work with no modification?
