All 83-02 700-R4 and manual trans. driveshafts interchange except Firehawk and some u-joint exceptions. So yes in your case.

The LS1 shafts are thin-wall and damped with cardboard. The third-gen 1LE shafts were better.

Ok thanks, this isn't a stock ls1 shaft it's a very nice aftermarket one a friend has. Hopefully everything will go in ok.

All thirdgen alum shafts (RPO JG1) are the so-called 1LE (so-called because cars other than 1LE's were equipped with them).
