I have made a decesion to use a 302 or 351w with a 5 speed, where can I buy a aluminum drive shaft for it?

Do a search and you will come up with several threads on how to get one made from a Crown Vic and other cars for cheap.  Vinnie for one has done this with good success.

DON'T mismeasure the driveshaft and have to get it retubed.  $118 shortening and $345 to make it the right length again.
