392 in a 70 Duster

I'm curious: what's the benefit of the conversion adapter over having a custom driveshaft made? We've got a shop about an hour away that does custom driveshafts. They made a couple for my truck and did a good job. I was planning to just have them make me one when the time comes.

To be honest with you..... I just noticed that a lot of other people were using the Driveshaft shop on thier swaps so I just went with it. I knew that it would be a strong lightweight shaft and it was easy. HOWEVER.... it wasn't cheap! The local driveshaft shop can make you a shaft using a 4wd type slip yoke that would work as well but you'll still have to adapt it to the trans yoke.
