Hello I was wondering if anyone would know off hand the details of the drive shaft that would fit a turbo 2 trans to a GSL rear end.

Spline count:
over all drive shaft length:
and rear end connector:

Thanks!

Although im sure there are members that could quote the splines and flange sizes, this is one of those things where if for nothing else but your own peice of mind you will want to work it out yourself.
You literally need the fc yoke and the fb flange, the length will vary being a custom install.
If getting someone else to build it all they need to know is the year and model of the two cars, and the length from nose to snout which you will have to take with a tape measure at with the suspension at rest height.

I'm not sure if you are set on having a local shop build the shaft for you but mazdatrix does sell one to mate a turbo trans up to a 83-85 rear.

It's what I used when I swapped the TII trans in my GSL-SE.

The yoke you're after is a Spicer 2603-25. You can use Mopar 7260 UJs with that.
