Default What drive shaft options available for swapping 98+aristo into 98 gs300?

Ok guys, Ive decided to go this route: Get a front half drive shaft from 98+ sc400, cut and weld it onto my front half gs300. The three prong flange on the sc400 fits perfectly into my aristo tranny output shaft.


Some people say to get a sc400 pre-97-92 yolk and swap it over to my aristo engine. The problem with that is the drive shaft is still a little longer which might not give any slacks for the shaft to move back and forth.

Anyone else know any other options or know if there is any other flange that will fit the aristo flange? So far I only found the 98+sc400 to match, there has to be a lot more.

I know i'm bringing back an old thread but does anyone have any other options? And will the driveshaft from 92-98 sc300/s400 work? Or only 98+ Sc400?

I believe the GS400 yoke is the same as the Aristo V300. Maybe you guys can just use a GS400 drivehshaft front side?
