    « on: June 09, 2014 - 03:47:52 PM »
    72 Cuda with 440, 727 and 8 3/4 rear. I think the drive shaft lenght is 43.6". Can someone please confirm this?

    You have to reference an earlier year that actually came with a 440
    4-lines down 43.6 appears to be the number.

    This has bee a PITA for me to figure out. My book has nothing specific for a 340 so I was told to go with a 43.6. This document shows my 340/727 8.75 rear needs 43.79.

    I don't think 0.19" will make a difference

    I hope not, the one I received with the car is like 42.5 and she won't work.
