Help! Does anyone have a driveshaft measurement for an early Dart with a 340 - 727 combo and and a 8.25" rear? It is for my 1965 and I still have the 225/904 with flange/ball & trunion and 7.25". I need to get one ordered from the local driveshaft shop and I am squeezed for lift time. Haven't got a chance to mock it up for measurements.
I found the following from: http://www.autohobbydigest.com/tables.php?17_driveshafts_slip_yoke
Part #: 2660607, Year:1966, Diameter: 3", Drive shaft Length:56.61", Trans: 904/833, Rear: 7.25", Engines: 170/225/273, Body: Dart,
According to : http://tciconverters.net/Products/TechInfo/converter_dims_tables.htm the difference in length between a small block 727 (34 3/8") vs. 904 (30 3/4") is (- 3 5/8").
According to http://www.bigblockdart.com/techpages/diffchart.shtml the difference in length between axle center line to rear universal joint for 7.25" (10.09") vs. 8.25" (11.69") is (- 1.6")
So my calculated guess is 56.61" - 3.63 - 1.60 = 51.39" for the new combo.
Can anyone confirm?
Thanks for your help!
Doug
