I have a Richmond 5 spd in the 65. I am currently using the stock driveshaft. I use a T400 yoke in the trans with 1330 u-joint. I use a conversion joint to match it up with the smaller 1310 u-joint drive shaft. Alls good. Now I am putting in a diff from a 75. It uses the 1330 u-joint. It's built and ready to go in. Will the larger yoke fit in the tunnel without issue? Instead of buying another conversion joint will a C3 driveshaft fit and use 1330 joints on both ends?

Thanks
Tom

No help?

I just put a c3 differential in my 63 and had no problem with the clearance on the 1330 joint. I was prepared to install a 1/8 hard rubber spacer btetween the snubber and the diff mount but didn't need it. Worked out perfect for me..good luck

I have solid body mounts from the 68-72 years under my C2, because I am running a ROD and 1350 to 1350, but I had to cut glass in a couple of places based on raising the rear diff with the removal of the donuts and welding the rear crossmember. I would think as long as your mounts are in good condition, and you dont have sagging floor boards etc. you would be fine.

Thanks gents. It looks like at leat a have a shot at it working. I know every car is different when it comes to clearance situations.
