So I'm trying to keep my m/s axle swap on a tight budget so 300$ for a custom drive shaft is not going to happen. I'm thinking of using a v6 2door drive shaft. Anything I need to know.

Mostly, does anyone know off hand how long a gen1 2door v6 drive shaft is or anyone going to be under their rig soon and can measure, for the sake of science?


88 Montero, StarQuest turbo, Kormex 5speed +tuff-pan w/phoenix f. stage2 clutch, 4in lift+33' tires, 4.875 lsd, short-throw shifter, Aisin hubs, SR big brakes, gen2 uca's, elantra alt, and so much more... 16g turbo w/hardpipes + 4.90 locking disk-brake axle soon (maybe lsd or aussie front??)

Body Damage is Cool
Pretty sure I have one from a 2 door V6 5 speed laying in my garage. I'll try to remember to stick a tape measure on it tonight.

I have 3 extra driveshafts here in Michigan, but if I recall correctly, they were from a Gen1 SWB 4cyl auto. Not sure of all the differences in length (if any). I think 2 were the main rear axle driveshafts and I had 1 front driveshaft in the mix.

Let me know if any of this helps.

Screw all the special driveshaft stuff. Look at what toasty did here! There is a picture in there using the stock driveshaft with a Sport axle. Easy peasy!
