Lee's shortened driveshaft

Hey Lee! I noticed in a post on the 'mayhem' forum that you had your drive shaft shortened. Curious what for?

Well then... here's something to really confuse you.

If his coach had shrunk twice what you thought it shrunk... it would have lost 104 cubic inches

Give up? Highlight between the red arrows below for the answer.

>> Lee's coach is 24 foot long & came with a 454 engine - had his coach been 22 feet long, it would have had a 350 engine. <<
