RE: Ball-Trunion to UJoint

[Steven Charette <stevec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes but if I'm not mistaken the Inland Empire setup is plug-n-play - you
basically take it out of the box, screw it to the car and burn rubber.
We've had major problems finding a shop around here that can spin the
driveshaft fast enough for a car with 4.56 gears.

There are still parts available for the ball and trunnion, which are
actually a very robust joint.

All that said, the '65 trans is the berries, IMHO.

Inland Empire driveline wants between $450.00-$550.00 for the conversion!! 
Might as well just get a 65 tranny...
