390 to 460 in a 67

I have seen the posts on how to modify the front engine mounts and moving the transmission mounts back 4". Does this mean that the original drive shaft has to be shortened also, or can it be used as is?

Are there other gotcha's? I plan on using a B&M shifter, cable kickdown and new accelerator cable to addresses those issues?

Thanks, great post. Althought, I couldn't get the first link in the post to work, so not sure what all was talked about. Any idea how I get the link to work or get to the info?

The link worked fine for me, but here it is in full length as text. Cut and paste the text into the location box on your browser and see if that works for you.

That link worked, it is the link in the linked post that didn't work.
