My fairmont came with a 4cyl 4 speed and I'm swapping in a SBF with a t5 and wondered what driveshaft I should use? Or is there one that fits or am I going to have one built.
Driveshaft Question

Its possible the stock one could work. If not it could be shortend
I had a four cylinder four speed RAD 79 Mustang I swapped a T5 into and the same driveshaft worked fine. The T5 wasn't any longer than the four speed and had the same spline count. I don't know what four speed you currently have.
1984 Mustang GT owned since 1991 (first car). Mercury Mountaineer GT-40P engine, some suspension mods, currently undergoing a five lug SN95 brake upgrade and more suspension mods. Some minor body and interior mods have been done as well.

Yep, this. My car came with the oddball 6.5" rear (unusually long driveshaft), but when I swapped to an 8.8, I got the driveshaft I'm using from a C4/7.5 LTD wagon.Originally Posted by Hazel85Ltd
