Hey guys,

I’m building a 1968 fastback torino. I’m putting a 429 with a four speed toploader in it. I need a driveshaft. I found a 4 door torino 3 speed manual with a 302. Will that driveshaft fit in mine?

Hello, Hank Is it? I'm new to the forum as of yesterday. And just looking through posts in this section and happened across yours here from october of 23. Hope all is well. Just pulled my 68 Torino GT390 C6 auto Out of storage after 20 plus years on jackstands. I'm hopefully starting restoration soon here. Definitely want to switch to a manual, 4 spd, top loader Or tremec 5 speed. And only assumed I will probably need a new drive shaft also. How far long is your build? you still working on it? Got it completed? And I'm only assuming you're far. Past the drive shaft issue.?
