Steve, I'll check in the Hemmings magazines I get. You migh check on their website. They are only in Bennington and a lot of the advertisers are relatively close. So the new transmission needs a new driveshaft? Bummer.

It doesn't HAVE to have a new driveshaft, but increased ponies requires increased tube strength......

Fleetpride bought CT driveshaft in Waterbury a couple years ago but they still do good work. I think they have a branch in Agawam or Springfield too. They even shortened an aluminum shaft for my camaro last year with no problems.
