Do equal length shafts actually make any difference on a nova conversion, I have the setup ATM but I have to change a few things and don't know if I should have one continuous shaft again.
Any help cheers

I was happy when I went from 22 spline to equal length shafts, I noticed less torque steer and it felt a more stable under acceleration.

What's the change to even make you consider going backwards in engineering terms?

What is needed to go to equal length shafts?

Inner shaft and bracket off a cav/cali (v6 bracket is different) and a custom outer shaft off mr Dixon. Theen just run a normal big block shorter shaft.

I run them on my v6 but I also have an atb so cant tell if they make a big differnce but it gets the power down well.

Yeah the torque split of an ATB will negate the feel of it, but you feel the difference on an open diff that's for sure. Even with an LSD it'll be kinder on the drivetrain having equal lengths.

Equal length is the better setup to be on by far.

What are the issues your having?
