V6 Auto to 4 cylinder 5 speed.. What drive shafts?
« on: Aug 03, 2006, 06:48:32 AM »
This is a '88 4runner, btw.  It has a V6/auto that I want to convert to a 4cyl/5speed.  Do I need to swap the driveshafts also and will they bolt up to the Diffs OK?   The rest of the swap seems pretty straight forward and I have a parts truck also which should make it easier.

the driveshafts will bolt up fine, but you may find them too short or too long.  the drietrain lengths will probably be a little different, whether or not far off enough to need new shafts, I dunno :dunno:
