700r4 question and Aluminum driveshaft compatability

Hey what Aluminum driveshafts will fit me 305 tbi and 700r4 camaro its an 89 RS.

Also do they have any kickdown valves other than the GM and B&M ones that let me keep it pegged in OD?

Easy swap for aluminum driveshaft is the LS1 fbody cars. They are a direct fit and readily available.

That's what I have on my car, from a 02 T-56 car. IIRC, V6 drive shafts are not the same length, and cannot be used in a V8 car. The you can also get a 1LE driveshaft.

I used to sell the 1LE shaft, occasionally to a V6 owner so I assume they fit.
