Default Re: U/SA 302 ffffford build

Shifter is done, works great (until I get to the track?? LOL) While underneath I took another look at the driveshaft. I'm assuming it's when I put the adjustable upper arms on, but, regardless, the driveshaft is only engaged about 2" and there is 2" sticking out. I can wiggle it so I don't like it.
Went to pull the driveshaft and couldn't turn it...in neutral..got a power bar and went on a wheel nut, the sound of rust breaking free and voila, a free spinning rearend. The back brakes were rusted to the drums I guess, crazy humidity here.

So, got the driveshaft out and picked through the pile. Got a stock mustang driveshaft (about 6" longer than the 76 maverick shaft that was in it) So now I have to call A&J automotive to see where to get a driveshaft cut/balanced.

One step ahead, two steps back, lol!

I'll get the fuel system ripped out someday, have a doctors appointment this afternoon so I'm done for the day I guess.
