aluminum is the only way you will get rid of vibrations

He has the 31-spline output shaft Tremec 600 IIRC... so the regular T5, 3550, etc.. driveshafts won't work.

Best bet is probably get a FMS driveshaft and call Tremec for the 31-spline front yoke.

nope

do not buy into the myth of alum shafts though they are nice looking

have you tried reclocking the shaft ? try one from an automatic car with the weight/not strictly and auto but most were found on them.

If you were close I have several to try and a custom chromoly good for over 1k hp

I don't consider it a myth per se. But I have performed tons of gear installs and never got a stock driveshaft to be vibration free at interstate speeds. (pre-S197)
But if what you say is true about the auto cars I wouldn't know. I have only done 1 gear install for a auto car

havent you ever saw one of the drive shafts with a weight at the tranny yoke its really hard to miss,I talked to a ford tech about them once.He said lots of cars had them on them but mostly on auto cars and if a car came in for a driveline vibration if everything was fine mechanically they would install one.

I took mine off the TC I had. It was great except in deceleration. Always had a roar.
I'll give you a call this weekend. We will see if it will work.
