Dave,
I recently converted my car over to O/D it is a great deal. I had the O/D
drive shaft though. When I sat them next to each other I only remember a
difference of about a half inch. It really was not that much. But PLEASE
do not take my word for it. Either find a O/D shaft and measure it or
measure the the space between your O/D and your diff. Remember measure
twice cut once ;)
