Just to clarify, is this a FMX or a 4 speed transmission in your car?

I just ordered a new driveshaft from Dead Nuts On in Northern California for my Standard Coupe with a 351 and FMX, it took about a week to get it, it fit perfectly and appears to be a quality piece, pretty reasonably priced and solved the vibration problem I have been dealing with for the last year , you may consider contacting them if you need a new driveshaft.
(Just google Dead Nuts On and you should be able to get to their website)
