Default Propshaft and rear diff question

Just a quick question really for the gurus out there
Been out of the cosworth world for quite some time now so memory rather faded

Will a std sapphire propshaft eg normal pinto type fit into a cosworth t5 box or are they different ?
Also will a cosworth 2wd prop mate to a 4x4 rear diff or is the input flange different ??


Just gone to fit my t5 box and the prop won't go in and rather awkward trying to measure and count splines from under car

Think I have a 4x4 7" rear diff and shafts but should be 2wd and god knows what propshaft as wont fit into tail end of the t5

I am not sure on the gearbox side of the prop. But I guess it will be different as the normal Pinto has a T9 box. For the MT75 box it is definately different. On the diff side all prop connections are the same for all Sierras.

The props are different for obvious reasons (i.e. stronger, as a standard one would snap) so irrespective if the fitment is the same, you would not want to use a standard one.

The 4x4 drive shafts push in, 2WD are bolted.
