open drive line conversions.........again.

First off thanks for the great site, I have read alot of the previous posts but can't find what I am looking for.
I am thinking of going to an open drive line because someone cut the torque tube on my car and now it is too short. My question is, How does the new drive shaft cottect to the tranny. The tranny is an old three speed year unknown. Thanks for any help possible.

 

Need more info........

The tranny connects through a yoke just like a modern driveshaft. What tranny are you gonna try and use?

 

It is a three speed but thats all i know about it.
I havent had the torque tube off either.
FORD maybe 40's

 

What year is the car? Is this a motor/tranny that is in it now? Or is this a donor car?

 

It's a 50 merc motor and a 41 rear in a 27 modified but the space between the motor and the rear is too short.

 

chec out rod and custom last month maybe? They had an article on an open driveline conversion. hotrodworks.com That may be for the rearend but it may be worth checking in to. <font color="blue"> </font>

 

Ya it's 200+ dollars american I live in canada and that means paying more, But thanks for trying to help.

 

Speedway has a nice open drive conversion kit, might be useful.

 

There was someone who had a tech thread on that and did the conversion themselves. I would post on the regular forum...there were some good pics. Any reason you are getting rid of the tube? Oh and Mickey....we have some people for you to drug.
