Just out of curiosity... I know a custom driveshaft would be expensive, but that would pretty much eliminate any further complications like conversion U-joints right? Would it be stupid to do something like that now if I'm planning on swapping a 14 bolt SF rear end in down the road? Just throwing some ideas around.
just from what i've "heard".....a conversion u-joint will work for a 14b swap......which as you know i plan on doing....
just for ***** sake........when i had the 4L70 swapped in we ended up needing to use a conversion kit for the torque converter that was built by Hughes for my truck.....was supposed to be a "conversion" converter to marry the Vortec motor to the LS trans........bullshit. had to buy the adapter kit........it set the trans/transfer case back 5/8th of an inch...my front shaft was fine....the rear APPEARED to be fine as well.......well, a few thousand miles later i noticed a few drops of trans fluid on the floor......
hmmmmm.....crawled under to check. the rear seal was leaking......hmmmm......turns out after hard driving in Zoo Yawk ****** the joint was hitting the tailshaft on the spline.......never woulda thunk that, but it did.........a seal is nothing at this point, but when i swap in the 14 bolt i'll be getting one built for MY application.....with a non-conversion u-joint too. my opinion is it's money well spent considering how much i spent already.
for now i deal with the tiny seal leak
