    Aerostar Aluminum Driveshaft Install

    I guess i should have mentioned that to begin with! Well maybe it shed some light on the swap for somebody. I was curious as to why there was a conflict in the u-joint info.

    Aerostar Aluminum Driveshaft Install

    Yeah im not sure about the ujoint i have read about on other posts or sites. I used the mustang yolk and attached it to the aerostar driveshaft. I had purchased the "hybrid" ujoint for the project but there was no way it could be used and in the end there was no reason to use it. Got 2 stock...

    Aerostar Aluminum Driveshaft Install

    Wanted to let you guys know that the swap was a success, no vibration or other driveline issues. Maybe its me (or the heads/headers I installed) but it feels pretty peppy from a stop

    Intermittent Miss-fire Mystery

    Drivetrain Valve Body Swap

    Aerostar Aluminum Driveshaft Install

    Thats a good idea. I do agree though, i worry about twist, especially if im doin burnouts at the strip. Ill put it to the test, if it fails ill upgrade to a ford racing unit. For now, im more curious to see how it holds up.

    Aerostar Aluminum Driveshaft Install

    Oh hell yeah! Ive tried tons of different mods on all the cars ive had. Some things work, some things dont, but what the hell, its part of the hobby. I really enjoy parts swaps like this though. If it doesnt work out ill just swap it back.

    Aerostar Aluminum Driveshaft Install

    Yeah i read a forum on that before i got it. The whole 3.5"/3" diameter was taken into consideration. For 20 bucks though i think it was worth a try. If anything its a learning expierience, ill try anything on my cars just because i can. Why not?

    My Gt40p Buildup

    Yeahvthats a good point. I was looking at a speed shop here, ford racing setup, hard pushrods, lifters, cam for around 400 out the door. Ive looked at a few used cams but i question used engine parts. Not a bad idea though to stay in budget. I could skim the classifieds here i suppose. Im over...
