73 automatic driveshaft

[Diseazd]

I'm getting ready to do a swap on my 73 automatic to a 4 speed transmission. Does anyone know if the driveshaft for the automatic and 4 speed are the same? If this is covered in another thread, please let me know as I couldn't find one. Thanks Guy

Did my '73 two years ago, and the driveshafts are the same.

Hey Guy, it's not a 4 speed auto is it, ie L4N71B. If it is, the shafts are very different.

BTW, if its a manual (stick) transmission, why only a 4 speeder?

You'll enjoy the swap over, it transforms the car.

I did it once to one of my Cedrics and it was like driving a different car and I wanted to burn off everyone at the lights.

Have fun with it Guy

All the best.
