Mark Williams makes the Finest drive shaft I have EVER seen. We use them Exclusively on the builds in the shop.

They are works of art almost too nice to put under a car. we use the Accubond 7075 3.5 or 4" and the one i put in my c10 was like 52" long 4" and could not have weighed 6 lbs (i am guessing) the moly yoke was just as heavy and get this the balance weight.............. was a 10-32 button head bolt!!!

They also make Carbon Fiber ( I have not seen one but can imagine how nice they are) but say that they would normally recommend the 7075. this is prostock quality stuff

Here’s a good question....

Who puts a 40 pound 3.5” STEEL drive shaft in a car using a 8” triple disc clutch??

Asking for a friend.

What a fuggin mess!
I can confirm that's not 2,000* coating.
I'm really curious what the tune looks like...betting it's "lean and mean"
Kurt will probably throw half of the engine in the trash and start over.

This would not be the first time a customer of Sutton has discovered he sold them something and it was not installed/included in their "goods"....

Seems your “half” guesstimate might be on the low side...... LOL

Can you at least keep the valve covers or oil pan? You know it's bad when the valve covers have to go!

Crap, just thought about this... Depending on the PCV setup Mr. Secret Sauce used the valve covers might be on the souvenir list too.

Still hoping for the best for you in every way (especially health) GW.
