| Post subject: | Aluminum Driveshaft Tubing Size Selection? |
I am looking at Getting an Inland Empire Alum. Driveshaft for ruster when Funds allow, Will a 3" tube be good for a racer under 350 HP and Slicks? It says that the 3" tube will support up to 500HP with street tires. Thanks for the insight. I would like ot get the 3" 'cause it's lighter and Cheaper then the 3.5" tube if possible. Thanks, Greg |

Usually they state a max length for 3" and 3.5" too. I would think 3" would be fine. Lou |

Agree with Lou, Find out if they are comming to MATS( I usually see them there )if so I can pick it up and bring it back east with me to save you shipping. I plan to do so right after. |

Romeo, Thanks for the shipping, although I wont have the money to order it by then. Probably next year or the year after.. Saving for other big stuff. Greg |

The one I had made for the '64 was 3.5" and from Denny's Driveshaft. Nice quality and good guys. I think it was just a hair longer than their max length for 3". Lou |

My Dakota R/T has an aluminum shaft in it. I think it is 4". Find one and you have overkill for sure.

I used Inland Empire Drive Shaft in Ontario, Ca back in 1986 when I dropped a 71 383ci out of a 1971 Polara Wagon in to a 1977 Dodge Charger S/E. It worked great and they did a fine job! |

Cool, Thanks for all the info Guys. Inland Empire D-L Also has carbon Fibre Shafts - i wonder what the Weight and Price Difference is between Fiber and Aluminum? Greg |

Greg, If you put a carbon fiber driveshaft on that car, I will demand for you to change the name from Ruster Racer to something more appropriate!! Brian |

Greg, don't hold me to it but a C F driveshaft is about a $1000. + or so. |

Looks like just under $1000 for most CF shafts. http://www.sonnysracingengines.com/crit ... shaft.html |
