Trans length

[dave1978]

I am getting all my parts gathered for my Monte Carlo engine and suspension upgrades.I was going to use an Olds 350 but decided to rebuild a Chevy 350 I had laying around.I have a good th350 longshaft on hand the question I have is it the same length as a 700r4 wondering because I would like to do that swap down the road just using the trans I have now to save money now don't want to have to get a driveshaft made twice.

Looks like they are a little different depending on 350 tailshaft but I think you would need to get 2 driveshafts...sorry

With the 700r4, the proper length driveshaft is 49.5" from center of u-joint to center of u-joint. Hope this helps.
