Looks like your going to need JustBobs guy for a heavy-duty C/V drive shaft!
Correction, i forgot he went with a CV shaft

^ indeed!
I was just in contact with them this morning . Looks like we are using a Mustang style one piece shaft. I need to get the dimensions to them to get the build going on it.
This weekend I'm going to work on getting the O.E. Cross Member altered/fabricated so I can get my final angles set, then get the measurements to them to start fabrication.
One step at a time! After she's hard mounted and the shaft in, most of the hard stuff is out of the way! PBH accessory kit is here, probably won't try it out until I get the motor in for final assembly, but looks first rate with detailed instructions/ect.
Good to know your dealing with TDSS! Telescoping is junk! C.V. Is the only way to go!
Just make sure your static ride height measurement is DEAD nuts! There is little to NO give in the fudging dept. mine fits so tight I need to walk it on and off!
Man, I almost surprised they agreed to one that long!
They told me it didn't matter which end I mounted the C.V. side to, that it would perform the same requardless. I chose it on the trans side. Two years now and around 10,000 hard miles, all good.

Got ya! I'm still in communication with them at the moment. I just submitted the measurements to them literally moments ago, so we'll see how it goes.
The length from flange to flange face is exactly 5 feet, 5 inches with the car supported at ride height by the suspension.
The shaft will be pricy by the talks of it, in the $800 range, but it's one area you can't skimp on when building, no doudt.
We'll see what they say!
Shaft is good to go!
$850. We went with a 4" Aluminum due to critical speed constraints, as I wanted to be able to go up to a 4.10 rear axle ratio, but that would require a 5" tube which I do not think I have clearance for.
The stock 3.55's with a 6 speed auto should work out just fine. And, when I get the turbo setup on, I will most likely go down to 3.2x or lower as with past builds anyhow. I was simply thinking while it's naturally aspirated I'd give it the best setup possible and see what kind of 60' I could achieve with that deep overall gearing. .
You will want to keep the 4:10's in the Marauder with the turbo.
Trust me
^ That's interesting Zack!
On my LS builds, my 60' got better with less gear (when turbocharged that is!) as you could load the turbo harder through each gear and stay in the meat of the power band longer, plus with the kind of TQ those produced on boost, it never seemed to care.
But, again, those were LS builds so how much of that applies to this one, idk.
On the same note though, with this being a 5.0L, not sure how much will apply to it either!
If I do have to go deeper, I can simply lower my top speed to maintain under the critical speed limit.
Thanks for the help!
You shouldn't need 4:10s with a Turbo on a 281cubic inch motor, if you need to spin it that hard i guarantee your A.R. housing is too big for your motor, on a Marauder i wouldn't go any bigger than a 76mm single , or 62mm twins , small displacement motors work much better with smaller turbos fitted for that application.

If I can fabricate a single system on this setup based on space constraints, I was going to use the same ON3 78/76 i've been using, with the same .96 ex turbine housing.
The 5.0L seems to flow very similar CFM to the LS motors i've been using that turbo on, so I figured it would be a very fitting unit here as well.
A .96 AR housing is wayy too big for a 4.6l motor , but if your set on using it then yes your going to need 4:10s and a higher than normal stall to make that oversized turbo work, basically your pushing your powerband into the stratosphere due to the wrong sized turbo , i had 4 Buick Grand Nationals , i built each of them with the fastest running in the low 9s at 1072rwhp , if you dont get the turbo sized correctly you will have a 4K paper weight.

Turbo sizing is based off of airflow CFM characteristics, correct?
Just looking for a little clarification on the subject, that's all, no disrespect intended at all .
On GM LS motors, our smaller displacement setup was a 4.8L, which we've used 80mm setups on with a .96 AR. It would have no issue lighting the turbo by 3500rpm, but only because our heads flowed nearly 2x what a Ford 4.6L did, and therefore could spool it no problem.
I'm not using a 4.6L on this build, it's a Coyote 5.0L with heads that (somebody correct me if I'm WAY off, I don't have specs handy) flow in the 3xx range.
The last turbo 5.3L Fox we just built ran an ON3 78/76, .96 and was full spool by 3500 give/take.
An engine is nothing more than an air pump, and the turbo is sized to the amount of airflow going through it accordingly. We know the outgoing 4.6L is nothing in comparison to the 5.0L as far as airflow goes, so therefore, a turbo of a smaller size that would work on the 4.6L would severely restrict the much more efficient breathing 5.0L. She will be full spool at probably 2k, but be choked up with back pressure by 6k, with a redline of 8k (stock shift points on the Coyote 5.0L Mustang are 7200).
Again, just looking to wrap my mind around the subject more, no harm intended!
When sizing the aftermarket turbo for my 1984 2.3L Mustang GT, I looked at a lot of different turbos and their associated compressor maps.
Depends on the engine's cubic inches, rpm level, boost level, intended use (race vs. street-spool up)...etc.
