James,

I would say that the cost of the driveshaft will run
about $150 to $225 depending upon the shop you choose.
 Mine was about $200 which some people commented was a
little bit too high.  

A narrowed axle complete with MG brackets etc seems to
run about $700 to $800 depending upon options such as
limited slip / posi.  I'm not sure what the cost of
the actual shortening is, if your planning on doing
the rest of the work yourself.  Jack Emery sells the
the narrowed Ford axles, and I plan on getting one up
when I go to Maine to pick up my freshly painted car
in about a month. 

I'm sure Jack is going to cut me a deal on mine, since
I'm giving him all this free advertising.  Right Jack?
