Looking for an aluminum drive shaft for my 84 Camaro
Hello. I have a 1984 Camaro Berlinetta. It was a six cylinder, but I swapped it for a fresh 355 engine. Also a 5 speed standard transmission from a 86 trans am and posi rear end with 327 gears. Here's my problem, I have a vibration issue that comes on around 60 miles an hour and gets progressively worse as I speed up. I was reading here at third gen where a lot of guys have had this problem and it ended up being that the fix was replacing the steel drive shaft with an aluminum drive shaft. So I looked on Ebay but couldn't find any. Was hoping my pals here would have an idea where I can get one? I am from Ontario Canada so it would be great to find a place up here....so the shipping isn't such a killer.thanks

An aluminum one from a 4th gen will fit perfectly.
