I know the wheel bases are different so I am thinking no but can't believe Ma Mopar would make two different shafts. Thanks. RS23L7 4-Speed

I would be tempted to try the longer driveshaft and check for clearance. Most literature will tell you 1.5" of clearance but most of the time that is more than necessary. If a car sits low and there is very little clearance like 3/4". It will never get closer as the car's suspension compresses, only further. 69 Super Bee, 93 Mustang LX, 04 Allure Super

What do you think happens when the pinion goes from pointing down to pointing up under acceleration?

It will kove the yoke forward about 1/8". 69 Super Bee, 93 Mustang LX, 04 Allure Super
