Mine is nearly the same with 12" driveshafts, except no couplers.

Yes Im trying to ditch the drive shafts and go with the long IMCO shaft. I'm trying to figure out if I need to move the extension box to do it though? Still trying to determine what neutral height is on the box?

Griff

The drive shafts with U Joints will give you a little room for error in alignment. Call Stellings to find out where they say neutral is.

Thanks Griff, I will give them a call!

Neutral on the Stellings box is 7/8" up. Neutral is the top set of holes. You should be able to get the 7/8" up with your stock mounts so long as you have hatch clearance. Keith I have the set of the stellings shafts that came with the boxes if you need them. Personally I didn't like the extra long straight shaft. Figure theres alot of twisting going on there?

Thats why I went with the drive line set up and shafts and thats why I think he wants to use the Imco long shafts so he can use the couplers?

Do you have any pictures of your setup?

Kevin, I should be hitting the river tomorrow around 10 or so. TX, I tried to get a few pics today but they didn't show anything. I'll crawl back in there tomorrow and see if I can get some better shots. Not much to see really. Used drive line bell housings. Then instead of transmissions I used the units with the splined snout to the coupler and a yoke for a "U" joint to the shaft, shaft to the carrier bearing in the box, drive plugs into the back side of the carrier bearing assy.. Used a rail mounting system for the engine.
