Hi all,
Glad I went back through and looked again at the suggested drive shaft amount to shorten. Looks like the 1.5" figure I had is suggested for the swap to an 8.75 rear.
I've got a /6 904 auto (going to keep that in for a while) '71 Dart Swinger. Rear in it is the 7.5 with the small bolt pattern wheel studs. Found a good 8.25 open 3.21 rear out of a Scamp and want to swap it in to get the large bolt pattern and for a bit more strength for way down the road when I pop a V8 in the car.
What I need to know though, is if you have to have the driveshaft shortened and if so, by how much?
Also, I looked on some autopart sites and they list a different rear brake hose for the '71 /6 and the '75 Scamp that the rear came out of. Do I need to buy the '75 Scamp hose or will the existing hose work for the swap?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers
