A cut down Ford driveshaft is used with a Moore transmission.

Andrew, mine was a whole unit when found, with the shaft already made to fit, so i can't answer your question. Do you have the change lever/ It comes with a quadrant which allows the lever to be set in neutral, allowing the Moore equiped car to be flat towed. If you have a Moore, it pays to learn to change, both up and down, while still on an up slope. You learn to drive defensively to be safe. If you go to a 3:1 diff ratio, let me know and I will run you through how to fit it all together.
