Bolt on a 24v swap

Your subframe is lowered and your diff is lowered quite a bit. That is bad news bears for your U joints and driveline angle.
Even the lowered subframe is not great
It's not a CV joint so it will throw some serious vibes if it is outside of its allowable range.
I still have the back half of a good shaft if you need it. -

I think the current plan is to swap the CSB and Giubo onto the original driveshaft - and bring it in to be balanced. If it balances out good it'll go back in... If not - I'll have to address then.
-
If your U joints are shot you will still get some clunking back there, the joints shouldn't have any play.
-
No play and there shouldn't be a lot 'sticky' spots when you move the joint around.

Dat m70 manifold though
YOU SEE NOTHING!!!
Not sure I'll be using that - might have a slight change of plans in mind for the intake manifold.... We'll see how the summer pans out.
-
Shift linkage is rebuilt and back in.... And it was a monumental PITA. Thankfully it was worth the headache because the shifter feels fantastic.
Electric fan is mounted and radiator mounting is done. Gotta figure out fan wiring and figure out what I'm gonna do for an upper rad hose.
Hopefully tonight I can yank those rear diff spacers and remove the no longer needed accessory crank pulley. I'm assuming I should get shorter bolts to replace the existing ones - or add washers?!? Will have to figure out tonight.

I can neither confirm nor deny anything.

I retract my previous statements - I did not install those diff spacers when I put the subframe bushing in (josh and I both thought we saw them up there - but went to pull them out last night and realized they weren't in there after all!)
Driveshaft is back in now, and got front studs in.... Just gotta get exhaust up, figure out elec fan wiring, torque axle nuts all around, and get an upper rad hose sourced/spliced.
Lots of detail work - but if things go smooth hopefully I'll be rolling tomorrow night?!?
