Hi,
I am new to the group.
I need some help verifying & IDing what I believe is a CV P71 aluminum driveshaft. I found the driveshaft at the boneyard in a P71 Cop Car in it's proper location BUT the motor, trans & rearend were MIA. I will attempt to attach pics of it. I did not see any obvious "POLICE" ink stamp on it.
The driveshaft is 55 1/4" long center to center & 3 1/2" in dia. (I attached the 3 pics below of it & what is on it).
The other info I need is the specs & limitations of this shaft & what year P71 it came on (forgot to get the vin).
How much HP can this shaft take?
How much TQ can this shaft take?
What is the wall thickness of the aluminum tubing?
What grade of aluminum is the driveshaft madeof?
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the link. But neither # was found. I even looked under CV's of diff years & came close on Paint Codes but no exact match & after a specific year they stopped listing the paint codes on that Ford site. I also tried to register on the Crownvic.net site & ran into some tech problem & can't contact the site to try & fix it.
It looks like the shaft uses 1350 U-Joints which also helps date it as a newer shaft.
Can anyone please help?
Also still need the max power limitations of this shaft.
Thanks |
