[QUOTE="Tob, post: 12909948, member: 83412"] Well, this has never been about turning a profit for me or even the machinist that did these. It was done more out of angst with Ford for not making this one available. Angst (or displeasure) because I knew what I was being told wasn't completely forthcoming. Ford Racing has been very tight lipped about this one but the information I was able to glean proved to be incorrect - in a general sense, anyway. So I moved on to Tremec and spoke with some very knowledgeable people there. I found that the necessary flange in order to make this happen actually existed, a '13 cup with an early spline count. Problem is, Tremec isn't in the aftermarket business to sell flanges to allow factory driveshaft swapping. And for whatever reason, FRPP has shied away (for now, anyhow). If I can fill that niche because nobody else wants to, I'll do my best. I'll have to talk to Travis about it first. For now, let me road test to further verify the positive results to date. If everything passes the test I'll try to collect a list of names and see what we can do regarding price. That's the best I can do. Before then, anyone interested may want to check with a Ford Parts vendor, such as Tousley, for the best price on the OEM '13/'14 CF shaft. There are a few companies that sell aftermarket CF shaft kits for less money than if you choose this route. But I think I've made the case as to why this way may be the best.:) [/QUOTE]
