Think mine is 48.75 Man I have shaft envy! Make sure you use a driveshaft loop! If the front joint fails it will be a stunt from the blues brothers movie!

But aren't you actually requesting someone to make/give you the shaft???? Not jealous hereTime to order a driveshaft! 57.75 inches... You A-body guys... don't be jealous of my massive driveshaft
Actually... i just remembered they had me measure from the output shaft to the rear yoke... so i just lied about the size of my driveshaft.. it's gonna be bout 3" shorter than i said
As long as it's straight and has good balance.. i don't mind
I did also. Slept at an Air bnb that had an amazing mattress. I asked the homeowner what mattress it was. They sent me the amazon link. it was priced right also.
I switched to a foam mattress around 10 years ago.. still love it.. and soo much cheaper than old style ones..

So here’s a question for you. Assembled engine minus cam shaft and timing chain. Currently oiled up and wrapped in plastic trash bags, is there a better way to try to keep it safe from moisture over the winter?

That’s okay. Mine is a tad over 96 inches…Actually... i just remembered they had me measure from the output shaft to the rear yoke... so i just lied about the size of my driveshaft.. it's gonna be bout 3" shorter than i said
I didn't have any furniture when I moved in here... so yeah, about stroked out going into the mattress store... went hybrid foam/spring and a foam gel in the guest room. For both, I paid less than half of what the mattress store wanted for one. 2 years later, I still like them.
I would be compelled to grease it vs oil it, it will stay in place better
I bought some of that parts preservation spray and bagged all the 65 273 parts.... Not sure what the substantial difference is. Short of packing them in cosmoline
k.. driveshaft order form sent off... i think that was the last big piece to get.. now it's down to me Got a little done last night.. i need to get on the wiring soon.. probably re-wrap the whole harness, they look soo much better with fresh tape. Need to find a switched 12v for the choke anyway...

or some cosmoline, it is what that is for by design
Those specialty. 70s editions are so cool.
Is that local to you? Seems I've seen that car, or one very much like it.
You're doing that actual harness wrap and not electrical tape right?k.. driveshaft order form sent off... i think that was the last big piece to get.. now it's down to me
Unfortunately no. The seller is in Michigan. I think they are so cool. I’ve never seen one in person
I was on the phone for a few hours last night with an old Army buddy... we're close in age and he's made a career change getting into cybersecurity. We have an ongoing discussion around AI use. He loves it... I don't, and keep declining when Windows asks if I want to activate AI-assisted browsing and search. I have a strong distrust... Maybe I've watched Terminator and Matrix movies too many times.

I was considering STP EOS, I’ve used it before but that was to preserve a block not a freshly machine block. I think I’ll do that again. I just don’t want to risk the 440 at this stage

I’m of the same mind set as you bud.
Electrical tape.. harness wrap looks weird to me on a mopar.. the factory harness was just tape anyway
To Eric's point... you want something that clings to the metal and keeps the moisture away. Even in the bag, temperature fluctuations can create condensation (think solar still)
I hosed everything down with this
12 oz. SURFACE SHIELD Rust Protectant
for doing it exactly like mopar did it?
