    1330 1350 conversion ujoints exist, so mix 'n match yokes and late shafts shouldn't be an issue.

      Pretty much. I have used them in the past. I wish I had done better documentation of when we put that driveshaft in the white car...

        I suffer from that. Information I figure I'll remember forever, then a ringer part comes along and screws up all that carefully tucked away in dusty memory banks.

        some measurements here;
        http://www.pontiacperformance.net/Te...haft_Swap.html

        Police aluminum shaft is shorter, 1" is often cited on cvn, above says 3/4". One big problem is, very few people know the right way to measure a driveshaft so measurments are all over the place.
        And I snagged this pic off of cvn, it is a 2005 civilian steel shaft next to a box wagon steel shaft, same length. You will need to retain the aod yoke though regardless of what shaft you end up with.

          While we're on the subject of yokes. There are two different size yokes on the differential. There's the small one that's found on non heavy duty box applications, and the larger one (standard) that is used up until the end of production.

            To clarify. According to the fordparts.com website, the MMC driveshaft is available only in late model 1999 (or TSB revised early 99), 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003 Police interceptor models. With I'm figuring 3.55 rear axle.

              I thought it was only 99/00 or maybe 01. I don't think they ever made it to the later model cars.

              Find a MMC, swap over the slip yolk with a factory AOD one and conversion U joints, swap over the pinion flange on the 79-89 to the larger 90+ style, run a 3/4 fabtech spacer, and you now have a driveshaft that will handle whatever you throw at it.

                Denny's driveshaft makes great stuff if you want to take a look at the custom route... if you talk to them, they were great to deal with and whatever lengths/yokes you need, they did mine to perfection.

                      Yeah, 1330/1350 u-joint at the trans yoke(not the original yoke) and 1350/1350 at the tail end. The original u-joints are 1310 but I bought a Ford AOD yoke which uses a 1330 joint.

                          I'm just going by the listings on the website of what had it and what didn't. I see that the issue with length lies in the slip yoke itself.

                            as far as the civi shafts... yeah. Apparently I just need an AOD slip yoke to replace the slowly disintegrating balancer type on my 93 (same yoke as that 04 civ shaft in the pic but a 3.5" aluminum shaft... or so it looks like).

                              The AODE and the AOD share the same tailshaft splines and the extension housing is the same?

                                I think so... if not, it's really f'n close.
