Default Driveshaft?

Got the Th400 installed and need to measure for a driveshaft. I have a moser 9in I put the yoke all the way in the transmission and measured from the flat part of the yoke to the flat part on the 9in. I got 45in. Does the sound about right. Also how much play should I want 1in? So get a 44in drive shaft made?
Thanks

When I measured for the 4l80e , I bottomed the yoke out then pulled it out 3/4", then measured.
I would think an inch is OK.
Was the rear sitting at ride height?
Make sure you tell the DS guy how and where from you measured it.

Whoops! just saw it was a Vette! Ride height doesn't apply cause the diff is fixed.

I have ordered custom driveshafts from different vendors. With the differential tubes on jack stands to keep the ride height correct, I crawl under the car with a tape measure and a cell phone and then call the DS vendor and ask exactly how they want it measured.

Alright getting one made locally and he recommended
3.5in steel driveshaft .095
Seems a little overkill, what do yall think
500hp N/A then a 200 shot on top of that.
