Regardless of whether the driveline needed to be beefed up or not, I did make improvements. I installed a hydro with the splined input shaft from a Cyclops along with the CV style drive shaft. The adapter at the motor end was supplied by Jeff in PA. The shaft had to be shortened by about 6 inches so I turned a 4 inch long coupler with .750 ID on the lathe then welded it in the middle saving both splined ends of the Cyclops driveshaft. It makes for a nice clean installation and no more spirol pins to worry about.
