My car was an originally a 400 2 bbl,and it had an 8 1/4,which lived behind my 440 for almost 2 years-and i didnt really baby it! i actually could have left it alone,but when i got the 8 3/4 all finished up, i bolted her in!

Did the driveshaft fit, or did you have to get another one?

my drive shaft swapped right over,put i new u joints while i was there,and that was it,even swapped my brakes and everything,was by far the easiest project i ever did on the charger,seems like everything is always a giant ass ache,but this was easy!

So do you guys think it would be ok to drive the car with the 383/auto and 8 1/4?

Cody, lots and lots of B-bodies from 66-69 had the 8-3/4" rear ends - - - don't sweat it.  Actually, if you search, you'll find most of the 66-67 cars (even the 318 powered B-bodies) had the 8-3/4. The housings and pigs are not rare, but a good sure grip unit will certainly set you back some extra dough.
