Here's a question I currently have a 7 1/4 sbp did a disc conversion this weekend on front I need a rear end that has bbp and all necessary parts to complete the swap... Do I need a new drive shaft for that rear end? And does anything need to be replaced on it?

The drive shaft you have will be 1.25 inches too long. You could have it shortened and rebalanced. You'll probably need one adapter universal joint that has small caps at shaft sides and large caps at yoke sides.

Thanks redfish. Was hoping someone knew the lengths.

I do have the driveshaft which I can sell if you need it / want it. Was attached to a 727 behind a 318.

The shock plates from your 7 1/4 can be reused if you open up the holes to accommodate the 3" tube.

You will need new u bolts.

Other than that and what redfish mentioned its a fairly simple swap.
