Lenght of drive shaft for 727

[SB69GTS]

I need a A body drive shaft to work with a 69 dart with a new 727 and 8.75 rear . Can anyoe confirm the lenght required. I did read a couple of areas that I need 48.25" center to center on the u joints. Does anyone have a similar setup to confirm the lenght and if anyone has one, let me know.
Thanks

Right at 48"

Best to measure exactly what you need.

My 73 dart sport has a 48" driveshaft , it is equipped with 727 and an 8 3/4" rear. Same drive shaft was used in my 67 barracuda , the shaft was originally from a 72 duster with 340/727/8.75.

Anyway all three of these cars have a wheelbase of 108", I think your 69 dart has a 111" wheelbase, so it would use a longer driveshaft.

Probably best to install the rear and trans in car and then measure distance.
