92 ranger 5.0L, AOD SWAP 4x4 rear drive shaft help....

[JER-BEAR-ID]

Hi, I've got a 92 ranger I'm putting together for my ol'lady and am having a hard time finding a larger yoke to accommodate the new drive shaft I just had built... (Dumb, I know!) The dude that owns the local driveline shop told me that a larger yoke would be available and if for some odd reason it wasn't then he could find a I joint for anything! Well now.... He says he can't...
I believe I have the factory t case, it's an 8.8 rear axle and like the title says it has a 5.0L and an AOD TRANS... At this point Im unsure what in the hell to do... I just want to get this thing drivable for my ol'lady I'm not sure if I should try and find a different t case, driveshaft, yoke???? Any help is greatly appreciated...

Are you talking about the yoke splines where they enter the case? Is it a slip yoke or fixed U joint?

I'm pretty sure the only one available is the yoke for a 1310 U joint, if he made it for a 1330 joint that conversion joint is available, I have one in the front of my Explorer...

Going to a different T case would change things too, the easiest to bolt in is the 4406 out of a '97-03 F150 but the rear output is a slip spline instead of fixed yoke so the rear shaft would have to be remade...

Yeah, its a fixed yoke... Tbh, i cant quite remember what u joints fit the yoke... or driveline for that matter, sorry it has been sitting out there awhile, i kinda got disgusted with it after this whole mess round... I'll take some measurements when I get home tonight from work.... What does everyone else do when doing a v8 swap?

 

[Mechrick]

Which transfer case is it? Most of the fixed yoke cases were from Broncos and used a double cardan joint, which won't accept a standard universal joint.

I'll take some pictures and measure up the spot where the u joints sit on the yoke...

Hey Guys, sorry for the massive delay... Life kinda got in the way, things were misplaced... Anyhow, I'm back to trying to get this thing goin again, so here's some pictures of the drive shaft and yoke... I burned 2" in all the pictures for ease of taking an accurate measurement.
