need a u-joint part number (8.8" to stock fbody driveshaft
I'm trying to finish up my Ford 8.8" swap, and the last thing I have to do is figure out what u joint I need. I'm using a stock '91 Camaro driveshaft. If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it. I have a huge car show on Saturday I want to go to!

Did you ever find what you needed? I used the adapter off of a stock ford mustang driveshaft. it fit onto my stock replacement f body u joint, with a couple of driveshaft clips. it has worked fine for the last 4 years.

Out of curiosity, what did both of you guys do for the torque arm? Build a mount on the pumpkin of the 8.8? Go to non-torque arm type of suspension?

I built a bolt on bracket that sandwitches the webbing on the side of the case. I'll get some pics of it next time I have the car on the hoist.

Interesting, that's pretty much the idea I got. What materials did you use? I'd love to see a picture of that.
