I while ago i switched my v6 to an LSD. I was told to get a one piece drive(crank) shaft. Would the drive(crank) shaft from a z28 fit?

 

FWIW - a crankshaft is inside the engine, connected to the piston rods.

A driveshaft exits the transmission and connects to the rear differential.

But I'm not sure if the driveshaft length is the same for both cars (V6 vs V8).

 

the crank shaft is completely different than the driveshaft, you cant just call it what you want

crank shaft



Drive shaft

 

Now, now, be nice fellers. He did say in the title "whatever you call it".
Not everybody was born with a wrench in their hand. But someone might get one upside the head!!!

 

come on now 69, if were hanging out and you say, hand me a socket wrench and i give you a hammer and say here my buddy calls this a socket wrench, youd be beating me with a hammer hahahaha

 

V6 & V8 have the same length drive shafts. A lot of V6ers have one piece Aluminum drive shafts out of SS cars.

 

Holy crap lol sorry. DRIVE shaft, i got it now haha. And thank you for the info, and thank you for tolerating my ignorance.

 

Ok, just for future reference, im learning all this car stuff on my own. Everything i learn is from the internet, a friend of mine, and you guys so cut me some slack every now and then.

 

You sound a little Cranky. Go smoke a U-Joint and mellow out!!!

 

Hahaha i just wanted to let you guys know.
