That's a tough one. Perhaps a long wheelbase van?

Are you looking for exact length, or one you can shorten?
one i can shorten. i was taking stuff off this weird hodge podge 99-01 extendo cab with a 4.3 and 2 pc driveshaft. i measured the shaft and it was like 78 or 82 i dont remember; approx 6" ish longer as expected when you swap a 80e in.

i WISH i wouldve just taken the 2 piece with me.

I'm no expert on it, but generally speaking, a steel shaft in the low 70-ish range is about max you can safely go.

I did stuff and ordered a hellcat fuel pump.

You might wondering why and thats because the walbro I put in supports 500 at the crank on E85. This motor definitely makes more than that on E85 so I got this 525. It will support 700whp on E85. Which is approx where my 60lb injectors also max out.

Theres no question of if E85 is going in. Its when.

In other news I picked up a belt today... 95.4375 (95 7/16) and it fits nicely.

So now i have belts on the truck.

I spent the day trying out my 60" zero turn mower i got recently and spent some time with the wife.

Tomorrow ill see what I can do.

Also picked up a holley USB cable adapter so I can actually connect the computer. My dumb self forgot to order one lol.
I am NOT using that annoying little screen in the glove box for testing
