dat240zg Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 For a while now I've been hearing that the driveshaft out of a auto zx turbo will fit w/out cutting into a series 1 (for the turbo swap). I'm trying to decide what to do about the driveshaft for my '70/l28t and have heard that it works. Anyone have any experience or words of wisdom? Thanks.

Jersey Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 I'm not sure if the 70's and 73's are any different, which i doubt they are but, i put an L28ET with a BW-T5, the '82 DS and the R200 3.54 with CV's out of the same car into my '73. Only thing i had to do is fabricate new mounting locations on the T5 to line up with the existing '73 trans mounts. Also, i measured the T5 and a NA '78 5 speed while i had them out and they where within 1/8" difference between the two, bell to end of tailshaft. Not sure if this will help, just sharing my experiece. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice for the (mostly) stock setup! Bryan Dat240zg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 No problem. Wish i had an extra for ya. What are you going to do for a rear? From what i've read, the turbo DS wont bolt up to a N/A rear because of the differently configured bolt pattern on the flanges. Guess i should have mentioned that before Sorry. Length-wise, it should be fine if you use a R200 with it's mustache bar that sets the rear back a little more. I know it sounds like i'm giving you only half the info you need but it's all i've got experience with. Sorry. Good luck and thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
