Question Need Driveshaft Help

I am not a mustang owner so sorry for the stupid question im about to ask.

I have a nissan 240sx with a 2.4L motor but the factory 5spd is not going to hold the power output, so I am converting the tranny to a C4. I have a factory 5.0 manual driveshaft off a fox body but I don't have the tranny yet and I was wondering if the yoke will fit the C4 transmission? Please I need your help THANKS.

Im pretty sure the drive shaft for the ford will be a thicker diameter. Call up a drive shaft shop. for a plain steel driveshaft custom made is cheap as shit. I used to get the TH400 to Dana60 drive shafts up north for 200 and change a piece from a local company. Call them ask alot of questions take EXACT measurements then measure again then get them to make ys one up
