Yeah. but you're gonna have to shorten the driveshaft and change the front yoke. Shift linkage and kickdown linkage both attach in the same place though. Hope this helps.
also with the drive shaft i found one from a scamp that measures 48' center to center from the joint caps. will this fit my duster and will it fit my 8 1/4 rear end? im still looking for a 8 3/4 rear so i was hoping i could manage with the 8 1/4 for now.
yup 48 inches is correct length. Once upon a time we could buy U joints for the rear that had 2 different sized caps on them. Dunno if you'll need such or if those are still available.
