    Default 86 Capri Driveshaft Issues

    I'm not sure if this should be posted some where else, sorry if it should be. My capri started life as a 3.8 c5. I swapped to a CFI 5.0 AOD then to a T5 and carbed. I recently got a great deal on a cobra irs (2001) and swapped it in, but the driveshaft is about 1/2 to 1" to long. I googled fox driveshaft lengths and everything said 45.5" center to center, which works just fine for an IRS swap. My driveshaft is 46". I am not sure which driveshaft is in my car (can't remember). Did the C5 cars have a longer driveshaft?

    Yes the 3.8/c5 combo did.

    If common sense was common wouldn't it just be sense?
