8.8 swap

Questions for the group as I am getting ready to do this on my 73 dart 4 door:

Has anyone used these shock plates with the proper 3.25" U bolts? I am unsure if they will work with the 3 5/8 holt spacing...

likewise, what about these others, they seem like they would work without modifications...

Pardon Our Interruption...

Finally, did anyone that used their old 7 1/4 and a904 driveshaft have to cut the driveshaft down in addition to adding the spicer adapter and u joint, or did the original length work out?


Thanks in advance!

I bought new shock plates. Reused the 8.8 u bolts I believe, and shorten the drive shaft that originally was a slant six/904 drive shaft.
