hey, searching around a couple 7 parts places and couldnt find any aftermarket driveshafts for the fc, my buddy is putting my old 3rd gen motor in the car, but im pretty sure hes gona use his old tranny, but anyway, i found another fc owner that needs a driveshaft, and wanna make sure my freind can get ahold of an aluminum one for a reasonable price before he sells his stock one

 

So is there a question in that rambel somewhere? Are you asking where to get an aftermarket driveline? If so, my best guess would be for you to try NW Drivelines.

 

Your best bet on getting an Driveshaft is gonna be Mazdatrix , an Aluminum drive shaft for an 87-92 FC will run you $382.50 but that doesnt include shipping.
heres the link to it.

I have a brand new Turbo II tranny to NA second gen Diff driveshaft. I think its aluminum. I can check the weight.

 

fixed....

 

:p

 

lol yea sorry kinda two questions, were to get the driveline and weather or not hell be able to use that driveline and 86 na tranny with the 3rd gen motor, i know very little about how the second gens are set up, excuse the stupid questions

 

You would atleast want a 2nd gen TII tranny for the car...

Whats his FC.

I have what he would need. (Turbo Flywheel, clutch, transmission, turbo to na driveshaft)

 

whats it matter aluminum or not? is just for a weight saver?

 

weight and less spinning mass, the aluminum ones hardly weigh anything, like 10 1/2 pounds is all, as far as what his fc is, its just an 86 base model, N/A, he got it for 50 bucks, with no motor, but it has 2 differentials, transmition, needs a new bumper, and the interior put back together, and a dash harness, then were gona put my 3rd gen streetport in it with a medium single, his goals are like 450rwhp, wich is easy enough, and more then plenty for what he plans on doing with it, should be fun

 

Does your freind have alot of experience with difficult engine swaps? A 13bREW in a FC would be really cool but it is alot of work for not alot more performance than the 13bt.

Either way, good luck, hope it all goes well.

 

i really hope hes using TII diff/axles behind that..
might as well do it now instead of pulling a out destroyed diff later.

 

i heard my torsion diff will fit in his housing, and i have a spare one, so that takes care of that, ill recomend some beefier axels, and ive done enough research on the swap, i think me and him can handle it, it doesnt HAVE to be done anytime soon, so we got plenty of time

 

Just remember that if you use a torsen diff in a tII housing, you'll need S4 TII axle stubs to make the whole thing work.

 

so use t11 housing, and t11 axels?
