ineedboost Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I searched a bit but couldn't find an answer. Can anyone with a 1jz/2jz swap tell me how long your driveshaft is, and what transmission you're using? I have a sbc in my Z, but I may swap to a 1jz and I want to know if I can reuse the driveshaft I already had made(with some modifications obviously). Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pac_Man Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I'm also interested in knowing this. It's difficult to find an organized list of things you need to buy/modify for the swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat1 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 The measurement will be different depending on how you do your motor mounts. My measurements are 28 inches from tailshaft to diff flange. I took that measurement to the driveshaft shop and they made mine for 215.00 with a new Toyota yoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzzzz Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Also depends if you use a short or long nose differential housing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pac_Man Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Interesting. It seems that this is best left to a custom machining shop after you have gotten the engine/transmission and differential bolted into place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat1 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 No just get the motor and trans mounted to your mounts and take the measurement from the end of the tail shaft to the diff flange and tell your driveshaft shop the measurement. They do this all the time. It's not a big deal. No special tools just a tape measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
