Equal Length Driveshafts on a Smallblock Gearbox

[novarally]

Forgive me if this has been discussed before on PNG - I have done no research on the subject at this time.

But the question is simple............is there a way to run equal length shafts on an F10/F13 gearbox (i.e. on standard size CV output flanges)?

Thanks.

It may be worth contacting Ben (boffer8) as I know this is something he was looking into. No idea whether he is still researching this though

I'd like to know about this also

Can't see how you'd use a CLET set up

Corsa D's have a set up

The corsa vxr middle shaft is shorter than the big block one but ive not tried it against a block yet or counted the teeth,

I have both somewhere i could dig out

Edit,
Im talking pish, the corsa one is longer and the gearbox end is 24 spline, cv side is 34 spline

just use a big block gear box and run the nova equal lenght drive shaft set up onto thing i will have to make it an adapter plate to bolt the drive shaft bearing mount to

I wouldn't want a big block box on there, too heavy

Indeed, as Edd correctly identifies, that is the whole point of this post, I don't want to use a big block gearbox!

You can get small block diffs with big block output flanges. Rallymarshal (Paul) knows the dealio.

Iain - not wanting to do this either, I want to use standard Nova shafts and CV's.

[bazil]

Corsa vxr one doesn't fit, tried it today it needs large side gears on the diff neither the XE or vxr brackets match the bolt holes on the back of my E16 block,

Just custom make a set to suit your requirements

[therealnovaboy]

harry hockley sells a LSD for the biggger inner CVs. esiest option would be to run that and swap the inner CV for an early cav 22 spline and fit to a nova gte 22 spline shaft shaft

why? your not really going to add any weight by using that setup.

if its for colins hillclimb racer then changing internals may be against the regulations.
