Zl1 half shafts and drive shaft on SS

oldman · 12-28-2017, 10:36 AM

I was looking at the GM race parts and they clearly list ZL1 type half shafts for the SS:

For racers looking for halfshafts capable of carrying up to 5,000 lb.-ft. of torque on each side, round after round. This system was designed for Camaro SS drag racers and includes both right and left halfshafts, washer and bolt assemblies, hub nuts, and replacement exhaust gasket and clamp for a bolt-on and race solution.

PART NO. 84398126

With increased power and torque, seasoned Camaro drag racers know they need heavy-duty driveline equipment to put the power to the ground, round after round. Capable of carrying up to 4,000 lbs.-ft. of torque, this system ships complete with the front flex coupler nuts and bolts, center bearings bolts, rear flex coupler nuts and bolts, the complete ZL1 propeller shaft assembly, and replacement exhaust gasket and clamp for a bolt-on drag strip solution.

but the prop shaft it seems to be a stock ZL1 piece! Also it does not list auto or manual. do all the v8 share the same length shaft? If so I wonder why does Drive Shaft Shop and GForce list different driveshafts for the M6 vs auto?

I believe for 2100 you can get dss for all 3 pieces which might be a better buy for a few hundred more

I put a Zl1-1le shaft on my SS, it was a direct bolt-on.

Is the ZLE shaft different than the standard ﹰZﹰL1 part?

pretty sure the 1LE part was to make sure it was a M6 drive shaft since the A10 was not a option at the time for the Zl1 1le. Now you would want to make sure it is specified as a M6 or A10 drive shaft or at least the year.

Is there a difference between a straight ZL1 shaft and an SS-1LE shaft?...

pretty sure the only difference is between automatics and manuals.
