my b2 started out with a 5 speed trans and i went to a c4 with a moderatly built 302. I moved the c4 up to two holes that were already drilled into the frame. It seems to be in the right place so i'm going with it. My ?? is when i moved the trans up i gained about 2 inches in driveshaft length, what about the front shaft, is it being 2 inches short going to be a problem? it still seems to fit pretty good. If not is the rear shaft going to be weak or should i look into getting it lengthend?
 
Find a BII with a C5, get it's drive shafts. Or, get an explorer rear drive shaft, have it shortened, and then have your front shaft shortened to match the new distance.
