A Custom Length Driveshaft Right to Your Door

We have all been there. You just spent the weekend with a few friends dropping in that hot V-8 and your transmission of choice into your project’s rolling chassis. What is next? Connecting all that performance to your rear axle via a driveshaft.

However, your existing driveshaft (if you even have one) is likely 50 years old or is no longer correct for the new transmission and/or rear axle you have upgraded to. What to do? In the past you probably would have trailered your project to a driveshaft shop, dropped it off to have a custom driveshaft made, and picked it up several days later with a shiny new driveshaft installed.

While this certainly works, we know not everyone has a car trailer and something suitable to pull it with. Not to mention the thought of leaving your baby at some shop where it could possibly be damaged. Now, thanks to Speedway Motors’ new line of custom length steel drive shafts made to order, all you have to do is take a few simple measurements, place your order, and wait by the mailbox for your new Speedway drive shaft to show up! How much easier can it be than that?

Built with Steel for Strength and to Save You Money

There are a lot of great materials to make super strong driveshafts capable of high horsepower and we are often asked about an aluminum driveshaft vs carbon fiber. But we know most of our customers are going to be running a crate engine or custom build of 600 HP or less, and for the capability and value a steel driveshaft vs aluminum is the best answer.

Our driveshafts begin as lengths of “driveshaft quality” 3-inch OD 1020 DOM tubing. Using the overall length measurement you provide us, along with the U-joint sizes and slip yoke/driveshaft yoke application you spec, we cut, assemble, weld, and balance your driveshaft so it is ready to go right out of the box once you receive it.

Ready to Install Right out of the Box

We offer popular universal joint sizes like 1310 and 1350 that are fully greasable for long life, and our driveline yoke applications cover just about any automatic or manual transmission that was used by the OEMs or in popular drivetrain swaps.

What that means is, whether you are looking for a driveshaft for your stock ’69 Camaro with a 1330 U-joint or a driveshaft for your ’32 Ford with Tremec TKO-500 five-speed using a 1350 U-joint behind a built Flathead set back in the frame four inches, we have your project covered.

Driveshaft Length Conversion Information

To determine the u-joint center-to-center measurement, subtract the following amount from the overall length provided:

T350-10 transmission: Subtract 2.75 inches from the submitted length.

T400-10 transmission: Subtract 2.625 inches from the submitted length.

 

Example:

Submitted length: 50.00"

T350-10 center-to-center length = 47.25"

T400-10 center-to-center length = 47.375"

 

This adjustment provides the correct u-joint center-to-center driveshaft measurement for comparison and fitment purposes.
