64 driveshaft- six to v8 conversion

[barbee6043]

Yes I have all the parts to change the 4 bolt set up to v8, as in all steering, rear end, 289. My question is will my six cyl. driveshaft be correct length and yoke spline?? Column shift. Going to a C4 trans. Thanks all.

Depends on the year and model of your original transmission. Different years had different spline counts. Do you know what year and model your origianl transmission is?

Thee original engine was a 200 inline hooked to its auto.

I can not find an information on 1964 merc o matic 2 speeds automatic. I am pretty sure that is what came in your car. Most C4's had a 28 spline output shaft. Not sure which yours had, if I had to guess I would guess 25 spline like the early toploaders?

When I did my Mercomatic to C4 swap I had to change the forward yoke with this one, plus the u-joint noted.
