- 1971 Mach 1 Fastback now with 503 CID 4 bolt block with AFR Bullit heads , Edelbrock Performer RPM AirGap intake and ProSystems carburettor 1050.
4 sp Toploader with 9" Wavetrac rear.
Caltracs and shocks at the rear.
I have a brand new cro moly drive shaft that fits nicely in its current set up...
Problem is that my bellhousing is not the correct one.
When installing the correct one - the dimension of the crank shaft is not exactly correct.
The difference between the bellhousings is half an inch, meaning that the shaft would be half an inch short.
Is this critical ?
The Toploader output shaft ( 31 spline) is anyway ab. 4 inch in contact with the drive shaft.
