Default Re: Things they don't tell you about a V8 swap

For me, the $550.00 custom 2 piece driveshaft was the big surprise.

I'd waded through wiring diagrams till my eyes bled. Read and researched as much as I could. Savaged a couple wrecks in a breakers yard for the wiring plugs so I could make wiring adapters to make the conversion as plug and play as possible.

The entire swap went really well, but it took as long to get the driveshaft made as it did for the rest of the swap and the cost of the shaft was shocking.

Guess I should have said I was swapping in an old Pinto 2.0 and only needed a driveshaft for an 80 hp drivetrain.
