Overview

The Modern Driveline aluminum driveshaft is a performance-oriented replacement for your classic Mustang's heavy factory steel unit. Constructed from aluminum tubing, it typically weighs 10-20 lbs less than comparable steel driveshafts, reducing rotational mass. This weight reduction translates to improved throttle response and acceleration.

This driveshaft features a 28-spline forged steel slip yoke for positive engagement and a 1310 series U-joint. Its 3.5" diameter aluminum tubing offers a balance of strength and reduced weight, while the aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance. Each driveshaft is professionally high-speed balanced for smooth operation.
Show original supplier description
The Modern Driveline aluminum driveshaft is engineered to enhance the performance of classic Ford Mustangs from 1965-1973. By replacing the heavy factory steel driveshaft with this aluminum alternative, you significantly reduce rotational mass. This weight savings, typically between 10-20 lbs, directly benefits performance by requiring less torque to spin the driveshaft, thereby transferring more power to the rear wheels. The outcome is a noticeable improvement in throttle response and acceleration, especially during spirited driving and quick gear changes. Constructed with a 3.5" diameter aluminum tube, this driveshaft offers an optimal blend of strength and reduced weight. It is equipped with a durable 28-spline forged steel slip yoke for precise transmission engagement and a robust 1310 series U-joint at the pinion end. The aluminum material is inherently corrosion-resistant, making it an ideal choice for vehicles operating in areas with harsh weather conditions or exposure to road salt. Furthermore, each driveshaft undergoes professional high-speed balancing to ensure smooth, vibration-free operation and longevity. This custom aluminum driveshaft is specifically engineered for 1965-1973 Ford Mustang models that require a 50.25" center-to-center length. It is important to note that this driveshaft requires precise measurements from your finished vehicle. Customers must submit a completed Driveshaft Build Sheet form to info@moderndriveline.com to initiate the custom build process. This product is proudly made in the USA, adhering to professional-grade manufacturing standards.
