I asked this same question and the result was that I need to buy a yoke.. slip it in the trans to where there is about 3/4 to 1" out and measure center of joint to the center of the joint on the rear-end to get a true shaft..

Thats exactly what Id do except the car is still on Rotisserie and I dont have the diff yet. I just want to make the most of our strong Aussie Dollar and buy some bits now to save some bucks

Save your time and money by waiting until you can get a real measurement. A 1/2" off either way and you will be redoing the shaft.

If your motor is located in the stock position, the stock length driveshaft will work.
They didn't custom build each part.

The rear axle should be on jack stands so the suspension is loaded with the cars weight for a good measurement.

One inch would work with the OEM "long" slip yoke, although every stocker I've ever seen has been more like 1/4" to the back of the seal's boot. If using an aftermarket short yoke, be very careful, 1" would be too much for sure.

Thanks but that Chart doent cover Hemi 727 lengths which is what I need. Shouldn't matter but I am leaning toward Carbon Fibre.
