Bill Crovo has done it twice, and is the man to talk too. Ron "Iceman" as well as Jason "jayss" have done it too.

You need the F2B kit, the tranny and pedals and all and a weekend. Smile

You could drive it, but I wouldn't do it for long. It'll be doggy, and you'll probably wear out the clutch. You may not even need a driveshaft...

i drove jay ss's white woody with the t56 and the 2:93's it was fine,. BUT he had a heavy flywheel, and an organic disc, AND the motor was tuned right,. you could roll away at idle just fine,. nice car to drive,..its all in the tuning with a 6spd,.

Yeah, some cars can get by with 4.10's and the stock shaft without a vibration. If it were me, I'd save the $400+ and try it without a new shaft first. Then if I needed one, I'd get one.

FWIW, my Fleetwood didn't need one with 4.56's and 26" tires. Smile
