I need one last component for my 4.0L swap taking an 93 explorer engine and putting it in my 86 B2. I also changed the trans using a M4OD, thus the need for a longer front shaft. I calculate that I need a shaft that is 26 inches from the center of the front U joint to the center of the rear U joint. The existing old shaft is 23 1/2 inches. I thought that I found the correct part on ebay and bought an 88 ranger shaft. However, one of the U joints was smaller with a strange double U joint on one end. (I tried to inport a picture but I couldn't figure it out.)
What year shaft should I be searching for? Do I need to have my existing shaft made longer?
