I used the one from my 1992 AOD that I tried to run (cooked OD band) before I bought a new T5Z. It fit perfectly in the T5Z, and works fine, but the 5.0 Thunderbird it was from only had 30,000 original miles on it since 1992. I also used a shortened/cut down aluminum driveshaft from an Explorer Limited, with conversion u-joints, but my truck is an 87 standard cab shortbed with an FX4 LVL II 8.8" rear axle with Torsen, just for reference..

Apparently they can be different depending on model they came in, and year, etc: https://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/so-the-aod-driveshaft-should-fit-eh.611104/

Some vehicles may also have the yoke with a large balancer on it, similar to this:




Here's some links that I had saved from my swap, many that have measurements listed, but be sure to check those u-joint numbers before buying. This should also give you some insight in to which vehicles came with those yokes, but again, some may have different series of u-joints than you plan to run.

Just be sure it's for the size of u-joints you're gonna run before buying one. They are available in different u-joint series for various swaps, etc..

Do your transmission tailshaft bushing a favor and buy a new one if you can afford it. They're not that expensive if you shop around:
