A833 driveshaft length?

Mine is 45 on the nose which is weird. Local guy has a 48.8 out of his dart, new u joints and has the 727 yoke on it for $100… that’s a buy even if it’s not right but it should be just about perfect.

Cut the input shaft on the a833 after measuring 4 times. Keep in mind I’m a dummy so I cut a little less, but was too cautious. Too sketchy to do again right now as I’m rattled lol…. It sure you guys do the trans with a car on Jack stands, I used a trans Jack to check the measurement and I still had some warm pee running down my leg..

Is that a Lakewood bellhousing? If so, I wouldn't use it unless you are planning on hydraulic clutch linkage...even then there are some issues that need addressed.
