Drive shaft length

[TerryM]

Hi, can anyone tell me if a 65 fury 318/727 driveshaft is the same length as a 383/727 one. I don’t have the original one for my car but have one out of a 318 car I parted out. Does anyone know what the correct length should be? This one looks to be 54 1/4 inches from centre of uni to centre of uni.

I just swapped the 318 for a 383 in my 65 Polara the original 318 driveshaft slipped right in like it was born there there was no change in the location of the tranny mount,,, Might help.. Catfish 65

It seems that in the parts manual at least’68. It listed the lengths for the different applications and models.

That's correct and the '65 Plymouth FSM has it in the specs section. MyMopar - Mopar Forums & Information - Service Manuals

Be aware that a drive shaft that is to short will tear up the thrust bushing in the trans tail housing, As me how I know. A drive shaft, once fully inserted in the tail shaft should move back 1/2 to 3/4" to seat in the diff yoke.
