    Questions regarding NV3550 and 241OR swap into 97 SE

    So I'm in the process of doing a transmission swap on my 97 SE. I'm going to the NV3550 with the NV341OR but for now I'm keeping my stock axels. Can I use the driveshafts from the Rubi that pair with the NV341OR or will I need to order something special from Adams or elsewhere? If I remember...
