If I install a later trans in my 62 will the later driveshaft fit?

Thanks John

I can't help with the driveshaft question, but if you have a engine 67 or earlier, you cannot use the later trans, as a "bolt in".

What kind of a shifter are you planning on using in this '62 with the '72 trans?

Can't say for sure, but I don't think the driveshaft will fit. It will probably need to be shortened. I'm pretty sure that Dart has a longer wheelbase.

A '72 Dart driveshaft will not fit your '62 Lancer, no. It will have to be shortened.

'62 Lancer wheelbase: 106.5"
'72 Dart wheelbase: 111"
