Heyee all!!- im building a 52 f1 ford, mounting on explorer full independent suspension frame, here's the odd part im installing a 305 sbc with th400 trans, just wondering if anyone has used that set up and how you may have worked out your yoke problem ??[S--appericate any thoughts , thanks
 
thought

does it have the flat round flange on the rearend? is it a 8.8? is it set up so the flange has the tapped holes for bolts?

if it has the dual 4 and 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern a 197O's caddy drive shaft will work, just do like l did using the 4 inch pattern and having the local driveline shop make one to the proper length to it fit.

you will have to drill the drive shaft side out just about 1/32 of an inch to get the bolts to go thru the caddy flange.

this what l did to put the drive shaft in THAT.

any questions l can PM my phone number to answer any ya may have.

Later :cool:
