What lengths are you guys running? I had issues with a LPE driveshaft being over 42" long. I had a buddy tell me his LS1 driveshaft on his TA with his moser 12 bolt was fine and it showed. Someone gave me the measurement from mid u join to mid u join on their LS1 shaft was 41.5. I can't remember the proper measurements since the car is completely tore down right now, i'm trying to get it ready for bowling green so I need to order a driveshaft tomorrow so I'm looking for someone who have custom driveshafts with a T56 and moser 12 bolt drivetrain at stock ride height.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

This looks like a perfect question for the Driveline section. I'll move it there for you.

I can go out and measure my Denny's nitrous shaft at lunch time and give you a measurement from center to center of the U-joints. When I called and ordered my Denny's shaft he knew what length to make it depending on what rear end I had (Moser).

Stealth Z,
I'm sorry but I forgot to measure the driveshaft before I shipped it back to Denny's. But I did find my original measurements that I used when I ordered it, they aren't from U-joint to U-joint but the overall length from the end of the transmission case to the flat surface on the pinion yoke. If you go here (http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/html/b.html) the measurements I got were:
#6 -- 43 15/16"
#7 -- 3 5/8"
#9 -- 5/8"
#11 -- 1 3/16"
#7 & #11 is the measurements for the 1350 series U-joint.
Hope that helps.

I measured the distance from end of the tranny housing to the pinion yoke (that is measurement #6 from Denny's) on the stock rearend setup and got 44 3/8", so his measurement of 43 15/16" makes sense. The new rearend causes the need for a slightly shorter driveshaft, approx. 1/2" shorter. This correlates with the measurements I took from the centerline of the rearend axle to the end of the pinion yoke. The stocker is 11.5" and the Moser was 12.0". I am going to wait until the rear is completely installed and insert the 1LE driveshaft, it may have enough clearance but I doubt it.

Cool! #6 is close to my "guesstimate" so I'm gonna go with that. Thanks I appreciate it!!
