Ok, question 1 is I know I have to change the yoke on my driveshaft (68 charger) I went from a 727 sb tranny to a 727 bb trany. Wil I have to shorten my driveshaft, or is it a direct swap.
(2) on the back of the 440, where the oil sender is, to the right of it a few inches is a plug bolted in. Can I remove this plug to install a aftermarket oil pressure fitting. it is a manual guage.
(3) Is the line on a manual water temp guage long enuf to reach to the water pump housing, or will I need to use an electric guage?
Thats it for now, thanks
Scott

its a direct swap, and you do not need to swap out the yoke, they are the same length. Now one may be for a small u-joint and one may be for a big u-joint, if that is the case you can get a combination u joint, part number 347 (precision) and that will work.

Yes, you can do that. Sometimes those plugs have been in there for a long time, so you may have to heat it up with a torch to loosen it.

If you are getting an aftermarket water temp gauge, it may be long enuff. There is a plug on the side of the block that you may put that into also, but your temp guage will read a lot higher due to its vicinity to the cylinder bores.
hope this helps.
