Here is the drive shaft I had custom made for my car to fit the glide. It has 1350 u joints up front and 1330 at the back. Great customer service and outstanding quality and balanced. The shop is the Axle exchange.
http://www.axle-exchange.com The person to talk to, his name is Neal. Great guy, I paid 400.00 for this drive shaft 3.5" diameter and it is made in the USA, he built it. Here is a picture of it: Edgar |

if you break a driveshaft in a mustang, you have other issues!!!
if you are looking for ET alum shaft is a waste of money vs a steel. I did a back to back comparison years ago. |

I think you'll be money ahead by just buying the FMS aluminum driveshaft. It's finished, balanced, and bolts right in. They are a thicker cross section than steel, which brings me to this question: Why are you twisting stockers? You might be articulating the rearend on launch, lifting the pinion up high enough to bind the shaft...Do you have a pinion snubber? Might wanna stiffen the back shocks a little too and get an anti-roll device.
You could save a few bucks on a modified Crown Vic part, but is it worth the hassle of maybe two trips to Birmingham??
