If you are nearby Peoria, theres a shop that made a driveshaft for my Camaro when I did the TH350 swap. Charged $96 and said he would replace it if I found some way to break it!

well, even tho this is back from the dead, anyone in need of driveshaft work can look up Boubonais Supply Incorporated, they lengthened my d/s for $94, 50 something for the balance and lengthen, 40 something for the tube, i imagine it'd be 50 for just a shortening
