If you have time hit you'r local NAPA or equiv. have them pull one for a 351w it may be slighlty longer and would work for your app. you can always cut to make shorter... just a real PIA to stretch and make longer...  |

ford has solved the mystery for me the dealership couldn't tell me what it was for but a regular one worked.personally i think it was for reinforcement cause i've had a few ford small blocks with high volume pumps twist the shaft before.probably should go buy a hardened shaft huh?
