so a yoke on the end of the tailshaft and then I can put any drive shaft onto that I suppose? Not sure if you meant I need the rear end and pumpkin for a vette aswell.
the corvette has an independent rear end, the pumpkin is solidly mounted and does not move, the wheels side of the rear move up and down independently of each other. I suppose you could put in a corvette IRS, but it would be a lot of extra work and that isnt really what I was saying haha.

most times people dont use vette transmissions because they need to fab the mounts. you were already fabbing a mount, so 6 of one half dozen of the other. your current driveshaft yoke should slide right in, you just need a vette tailhsaft and a mounting plan
