have read some posts and seem to get conflicting info, I've read ...to mate the rear & AOD you need to cut the driveshaft about 1" ...I've also read no shortening necessary... Anyone know from experience ? Where talking about a 66 with a 93 5.0 and AOD.

I am doing a swap also. I have 66 with a 289 and I am going to an AOD.
When someone finds out, I would like to know also how much to cut the
driveshaft.

I did my swap with Windsor Fox Stuff. Check thier site.

I think I note the dimension I cut on my site.

IMO it'd be best to crawl under and measure for yourself to insure you don't have to do the job twice.

I took about an inch off, but I also got rid of the two piece design while I was modifing/cutting the drive shaft. Measuring it would be your best bet.

I found it on CHepie's site...WF says 50-1/8th. The question then is...if that is the correct lenght for a 69/70 it is porbably the same for a 67/68, but what about the 65/66 cars?
