Well the reason I asked is I read that the 2Gen Driveshaft's on 7's dont have replaceable bushings and that they will be really worn by know. With an after market I will be able to change them in the future if they need it. Just what i read.

oh, you would probably have to have a shop make u a custom one, that would accomodate replaceable bushings/u-joint.

Well on top of that I plan on swaping the engine with a turbo one. Will any year fit or will I have to get a gen2 engine?

any Fc turbo engine will fit and bolt right in. other ppl have done other FD and cosmo engine but it takes custome fabrication and shaping of the engine bay for some.
