Quick driveshaft ?

Will an aluminum driveshaft out of a 02' LS1 fit my 91' firebird ? Dude selling it says it will but I don't think so .. Thanks !

Should be the same length. U-joints may be a different size.

Re: Quick driveshaft ?

I used a 6-speed LS1 driveshaft in my 89 Firebird and it was a direct fit. It was ever so slightly longer or shorter but not a big deal.

Re: Quick driveshaft ?

The shaft will be shorter by almost an inch, but works fine and is a common swap. I have one in my 92 with a t5
