Can anyone give me the correct driveshaft length for a 67 B Body (Charger) with a 4 speed and an 8-3/4 differential??


thanks

Assuming a 383 engine, the service manual and parts book both say 52.03".

Some info here:

Thanks. It was a 383 originally, but now has a 426 Hemi in it.

I'm assuming you are searching for the correct length shaft for a bolt in deal. If your eng/trans/rear is already in I'd butt the front yoke all the way in the trans & measure C to C then subtract 3/4 to 7/8 & see how close you are to what you are considering purchasing. If you do end up having to cut one down I'd suggest shooting for an end play dimention of 3/4"-7/8" with the axle loaded not suspended. wouldn't hurt to check end play with the correct shaft installed either

Thanks Robert. I already have a shaft in there, but I think its too short. I will measure it today and see where we are. Is 3/4 to 7/8 enough end play to compensate for suspension movement? The car is totally stock underneath except for the different engine. I am positive after having the shaft out recently that there is way more than that much end play. When I bought the car years ago, the previous owner lost the original shaft, so I found this one on E-bay. It works, but I don`t think it engages the tailshaft quite enough.

ok, after measuring the existing one, it looks like its about 1.25 inches too short. Will check into a new one tomorrow.

thanks.
