I am a new member and just picked up a 71 240z, always loved these cars and now have the money (working on the time) to build one. See below for pics.
I have been trying to do my homework before I even start to work on the project and the one main thing that I can't find a straight answer on is cv joints with an R200 rear. I know I want to put a clutch style R200 (preferably the 3.545 rear) on this thing. Now the drive train up until here is set. I picked up an LS1 with a T56 and I will do a custom drive shaft. However, I can't seem to find a straight answer on the CV joints.
From what I understand, if I use the R200 with the half shafts, I am going to have geometry issues, similary if I use CV joints from a 300ZX.
So what cv joint can I use or piece together that is not going to bind and will be short enough for the R200?

Yes, that paint job is going away too.
