driveshaft length for a 1971 Challenger 4-speed
« on: February 03, 2009 - 10:01:25 PM »
We have to have the driveshaft cut down.  If you remember we bought the Challenger and it had an A body 4 speed rigged into it. Now with the proper 4 speed, what length should the DS be?    it has the 8-3/4 rear end.   I can't find it on the net.

Thanks,

Steve

My book shows 45 19/32 in.


The goal never changes - Stop the 60' timer with your back tires

I would measure your car and have one made the right length.
