are they a direct bolt in to my 700-r4 and is it worth it to me to upgrade or change?

i'm running roughly around 300 with the ocasional 100 shot.

also, what should i expect to pay for a used one?

 

As I understand it, YES they swap right in. Look at this rebuild in progress:

As stated on his site, he got it from Dal and it was $245 new. I've seen used ones go for anywhere from $125-225 usually. That thing is massive!!

Check www.camaroz28.com too for used ones.

what advantages and disadvantages would there be???

 

Advantages: it's light, well balanced, and designed for a lot more hp and torque than your average 3rd gen makes.

Disadvantages: it's so big in diameter getting to the rear u-joint strap bolts is a pain. Can't get a socket on, have to use a wrench. May not be as strong as the smaller-diameter 4th gen 1LE aluminum driveshaft, no conclusive data tho.

 

so there are 2 types of 4thgen aluminum driveshafts???

if there is how can you tell the difference? what models have the better version?

 

1LE shaft is smaller diameter than the LS1 piece.

 

so your talking about 1-le for our cars and the standard aluminum used on the ls1's.........so there is only one aluminum found on 4thgen right ?

 

Both are 4th gen pieces. The 1LE part is for LT1 cars, the LS1 is for...well, you get it.

 

gotcha

is their any real weight difference?

 

how do the thirdgen aluminum drive shafts compare?

will they fit with a TH-350 or would i have to get a new yolk? what about the length?

 

The 1LE shaft is the sams part number for 3rd & 4th gen cars, 10085375.
