I'm looking for some help; I'll be working with the following:

Pinto engine - type E 4 speed gearbox - Capri 2 piece propshaft - atlas axle

everything but the typeE came from the same car

SO THE QUESTION: do I need to shorten the propshaft? I know I should just try to put everything on the car and see but It's a bit inconvinient at the moment, so if anyone had the same experience and knows exactly what there is to do or if it just simply fits, id appreciate the info, but if not then Ill just wait till I'll have the shell ready.

Thank you
