Auto to Std. Swap...Driveshaft??

Hi

I am doing a T5 swap on my '91 L98. Will I need to swap my driveshaft as well, or will the original one from my L98 auto fit?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Your shaft will fit. You will need a new torque arm bracket thou.

Thanks!

I was wondering about that....Any idea on the flywheel? Will any V8 flywheel do? I know the L98 couldn't be had with a std. tranny for the firebird. Will I need a flywheel from a Corvette L98?

Thanks again

I think you need a flywheel for a 1pc. rear main seal. Any 86 and up flywheel should work, but I'm not sure. I needed a flywheel for a 2pc. rear main. Much harder to find.
