8.25 and D44 yoke to center line numbers

Im looking at getting rid of my hack n tap and flanged adapters and was wonding if anyone knew the difference between the centerline of axel tube to centerline of pinion yoke on the chy 8.25 and the d44. I currently have a 8.25 and will soon be swapping in a 44 that I cant currently measure. Its more difficult than thought to measure with the axel still under the jeep and the axis off plane from each other. Just wanna make sure that my driveshaft measurements look okay. Thanks.

The minor difference between the two is not important.The slip joint in the drive shaft will make up the difference.When I made the same swap I used a front drive shaft until the new rear CV DS was made.IIRC the DS running length was 34" ON MY Jeep.yours may be different
I also had the flanged cv ds converted as a spare,it was about 4" too short, the difference being the shorter yoked SYE compaired to the H&T sye and flange on the CV head.
