big block shafts

[Bubba]

is it possible for me to use my 1.3 shafts on a big block? if i change the cv's? or do i need the 22 spline gte shafts?

iirc you need 22 spline GTE/GSI shafts. though i'm intending to cut and shut big block/small block shafts for my XE.

Gsi shafts are 28 its just gte and 1.5td shafts that are 22s so im told

[mk1nova_rich]

GSi are 22 spline

The drive shafts are a random fitment. Look of the draw.
We had a standard 1.2 it had 22 spline it plus it will tell you in Haynes man.

according to haynes


opel driveshafts have 22 and saginaw driveshafts have 28

both were fitted on gsi and gte's

according to haynes

this is the only problem here lol

I have never found a GSI with 22 spline shafts, only GTE.

And one DERV in the scrappy.

Why on earth would you cut n shut shafts, when theyre like £100 with new CVS on?

Thats crazy.

IIRC only mega early GSI's has 22spliners.
TDs and gte's are you best bet.

The reason you cant use your 1.3 shafts is as said, they have 28splines so wont fit a big block cv.

thats all i needed to know.

ah piss i sold my gte shafts :cry:

im assuming you put big block cav inners on and keep the standard gte outer.

[mk1nova_rich]
