I think that the biggest problem that your is not the size of the driveshaft but the yokes at each end. Especially the tranny end, there is not that much space in the tunnel. I would think that you could go maybe 3" but that's not going to help much with the little u-joints you are forced to use... JMO.. Dave

They will take a huge amount of torque use a flex plate and are all metal.

Got my curiosity up... so I looked it up.
all C-3 turbo 400's and all 4 speeds after 1971, got the larger driveshaft (2.5" vs 2") and U-joints. From your other thread, you may already have the yoke for the larger shaft. If the shaft clears the tunnel, this should be a drop in for you, if you include the yokes at the trans and at the differential. Might be a good question to ask over on the C-3 forum.... I'd do an archive search in that forum too...
