I was looking into buying a XJ steering shaft but i came across this post thats seem that Astro Van shaft are about the same length and couplers too?

Anyone know if an Astro shaft will work, they are commen in my part of the world weres the XJ is not, Shipping over seas are expensive so if i can get one local to me it I would save alot |
From what I understand in the g-body/Malibu world the Astro shafts require re-clocking one end to have the necessary alignment (the g-body & C10 stuff is similar).
The re-clocking requires cutting & re-welding of one end which is not required for the XJ swap.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
