Thanks for the input Andrew.

I questioned wether a telescoping shaft would be able to deal w the RPMs this will face.



I shot off an email to the company you linked. I'm sure they are nice pieces, but the cost of the ones linked is a bit scary. I see they also offer the conversion blocks to change from the 3 bolt to the more typical 4. However, at $149 each (times 2) that isn't necessarily cheaper...

I also shot off an email to Tom Woods. We'll see what I find out. I'm told conversion to a slip yoke is as straight forward as unbolting the flange, and cutting off the alignment dowel. What I read on sources reference converting CTS-V T-56s to F-body style, I was put off by the complexity and cost. But then, maybe most others also sought to convert to the F-bpdy rear shift position. In all honesty doing that would solve two problems for me. I'll check into that option also.

Frank is terrible about returning emails. I would pick up the phone and call him. He is usually pretty accessible by phone. The other guy that answers the phone(I forget his name) is very knowledgable as well.

I fear that you don't have an inexpensive solution. I think that the splines on the output shaft of the CTSV trans are not very long and are not suitable for a regular slip yoke.

$900 bucks for a driveshaft with the adapters and CV joint isn't too bad. Here is a more "scary" piece...
