driveshaft length

[dartfever]

I just acquired a parts car for my project. Now I know this a shot in the dark but would the 273/auto driveshaft work with the 833?

Assuming that the auto is a 904 the lenght will be correct but you will need a new slip yoke for the front of the drive shaft. The A833 tranny has the same size output shaft as the 727 which is larger than the 904.

I've done a couple of 4 speed conversions and always used the 727/833 drive shaft and yoke. The 904 is a couple of inches longer.

I always thought the 727 tranny in an A-body was longer than the A904, A833 or 3spd manuals.

According to my Mopar Chassis Manual the 904 and the 833 in the a-body have the same length from engine block face to end of tail housing (well almost there is .080 difference in length) not enough to worry about.

Thanks guys! Didn't buy the car for that but figured it was worth a try!
