Would be interesting to see a 67 GTX or R/T Hemi 4spd buildsheet to see what number the driveshaft shows for those cars.
Wonder if it could be the same shaft part # but with stronger U-joints? Or maybe it got higher speed balancing with 4.88 gears?? Just some WAGs.
I hadn't thought about the special balancing, but that is certainly a possibility.

The length of the pinion will be the same no matter the ratio.
Do you have the rest of the original driveline parts? The RC 426 bellhousing, Hurst shifter, Dana with Spicer yoke and the SS springs?
The Dana, SS springs and, I believe, the original shocks, were on the car when I bought it in 1985. The car had been converted to an automatic but the clutch pedal was still in it and the torque shaft was gone. The TSB says that the car had a "heavy duty" torque shaft but I have been unable to verify if it was a special piece, so I installed a stock one.
I found an RC426 bellhousing and a DP-FX-65 Hurst shifter, both of which are now on the car.
I am not sure if the Dana has the Spicer yoke, but the yoke that is on it is 2 5/8" inside and has tapped holes with straps and bolts, not U-bolts.
Any info regarding correct original parts is appreciated.
