Foxbody drive shaft w/C4

I need to know the length of a Foxbody DS in a BBF fox w/engine plate and C4 tranny and 9" housing. If someone knows the length from joint/joint then I would know what to look for at the swap. Any help would be appreciated.Thx

Are you running the cross member for the trans and if so is it in the stock location ?

What Isthe Lengeth of the yoke on the rear ?

Check with Damon, he had a c-4 in his car once upon a time. He may even have still his old driveshaft. If you ain't got his number, call me and I'll give it to you. ---RED

Hey Rick I had the aluminum driveshaft from Ford in mine with a C-4 and 9 inch. Driveshaft measured 45 1/2 inches center to center. Now I wasn't using an engine plate. I have a QA1 tubular K member. Double hump crossmember from Ford without any mods.

Sounds awful short.

It maybe ... I wanted better weight transfer n got rid of stock location mounts...I had front of motor inline wit shock towers n bolted plate to tower... Made it super easy to put motor in... Had a turnbuckle bolted to side of block to prevent twist.... Motor was only 750 hp.. But worked awesome..
