It was already made to fit the 8 3/4 rear end. I measured 57 1/4 from rear center to the front edge of the pleats that bolts to the transmission. It still has the old-style hook up in the front.On a side note... How long did you make your drive shaft. center of joint to center of joint?

Suspension was hanging. New rear springs as well. It’s a 65. The original driveshaft that went back from the 904 to the 7 1/4 inch rear end was around 61 inches long.Wow, that seems way long. My 74 Dart Sport was only 48 3/4 inches center to center on the U joints. Did you measure with the rear suspension hanging or did you have jack stands under the rear axle tubes with the weight of the car on it?
A 74 Dart Sport is essentially a Duster and has a 108 inch wheelbase. A 65 Dart has a 111 inch wheelbase. Of course, that doesn't explain nine full inches difference.Wow, that seems way long.
