there are no u joints in a torque tube. It is mated via splines and held together by clamps that mate it to your transmission, and also at the other in holding to the clutch.

Check the diameter of the shaft or count the splines. Tell use what you come up with and we'll tell you what you have.

The 924S and 944NA shared TT central shafts (the TT outer shells were mostly the same across the board, depending on the transaxle used in the back)

Has a ton more info on V8 swaps into the 924/944 chassis.
