Re: Custom driveshafts

I tend to use Mark Williams for my race car driveshafts - solid, aluminum and carbon fiber. For my hot rods/street driven cars, I use a local shop. What trans yokes are you considering?

Re: Custom driveshafts

As a weekend warrior only making about 40X horsepower, I had a local shop make me a "performance" driveshaft; a tiny bit thicker wall and better quality steel with the HD u-joints (no zerg fitting). Its a tiny bit heavier than stock (like a pound) but holds the power great and was a bargain at only $130.

Re: Custom driveshafts

A 3rd for Mark Williams on the track

I built a mild El Camino show/driver and used Dynotech. They build a nicely priced $275 street driveshaft with free shipping., DOM steel, Chrome Molly shafts a little higher

I just did my taxes and reviewed my SS statement. Thanks to the current administration it looks like I will only have to work till noon on the day of my funeral.
