Hey guys,

After painstakingly measuring the driveshaft length for the Turbo 400 I'm putting in my nova, I finally concluded that I currently have 3/8" play and needed an additional 5/8" to get me to my 1" goal. I took it to the fab shop today to have it cut down and, luckily, the tech noticed that I didn't have as much of the yoke going into the tranny as I needed based upon my markings. This is my first 400, so I wasn't sure what to expect - but I'll bet that only 2/3 of the machined yoke surface actually fits into the tranny. Basically, he told me that my 600+ HP would twist the portion of the yoke that was in the tranny off, and that I needed to look for a "counterbore" yoke for my tranny.

I'm going to the local race shop that I work with tomorrow to see what might be going on, but thought I would run it past the board beforehand. I did a search but didn't find anything that seemed to relate to this topic, so I apologize if I'm asking for something that's been answered elsewhere.

Thanks...

Hobo
