Canuck 289 scratch build

[old willy]

Ok Bruce,

Here they are,

I ordered from an outfit called Driveshaft Parts at www.driveshaftparts.com they had what I was looking for, in stock, with options.
On some of things they seem to have their own house brand stuff as well as the big name brands.
Also they ship to Canada so that was good for me too. I do try and shop local but sadly Canada is a bit of a motorsports desert, perhaps it is our smaller population coupled with a shorter summer season but what it means is it harder and normally much more expensive to get the same items up here
I did take some of these numbers to the local parts store and went weak in the knees when he started giving me prices so driveshaftparts.com works for me.

BTW, up here in the frozen north I was taught that we don't have Speed shops, we have GREED shops....

OK, enough of my ranting

On the outboard end circular 6 bolt flange 2-2-1339
On the inboard end weld yoke 2-28-417
Outer axle male spline half 2-82-58X
Inner axle female spline half 2-3-5821KX

So obviously 2 of each of those and 4 1310 size U-joints plus your own cut up stock CV axles.

I think the original cars might have used 1330 size joints? but I am not sure. The donor Mustang power train was sporting 1310's on the driveshaft the 95 Cougar was 1330's but it was a tank! So I think these will be fine, we are not running any extreme angles either so that is what I went with.

Check out the website, they have all the specs there too to help you decide.

As for me, Mr. Bruce I am going to need a new hood or at least hood skin for my project, it has a nicely made but so wrong looking 427SC hood currently, I am looking for a regular no scoop hood skin as I intend on bonding it to a more correct looking tube frame. I could also be interested in a USRRC / FIA type if the smooth one is not available.

Can you help me?

Cheers,
Hudson
