When I bought my 67 it had a 700r4 in it and the drive shaft was cut 3 inches. The truck was originally a six cylinder with a standard shift. I'm not sure what trans came in it. I had the 700r4 front pump rebuilt because it was leaking, and in the process of that the shop told me that the trans would need rebuilding before long. They also told me the torque converter input shaft bearing was in bad shape.
I had access to a rebuilt th350 from the PO of my truck so I decided to use that along with the torque converter for it. He also gave me the drive shaft for the truck but I think that drive shaft is for the original six cyl. standard because it is shorter than the 700r4 shaft, which is shorter than the v-8 TH 350 combo by 3 inches.

The point of all this is, the six cylinder drive shaft may have to be lengthened to run the 700r4 or the 2004r if it came with the standard trans and was converted to an automatic. Hopefully someone has the drive shaft dimensions for a v-8 with the th 350 with the engine in the forward location.

I am posting this to let the sixers know what they might have to do if they want to run a six/350/700r or 200r4 combination. Also I would like to know what length drive shaft I am going to need for my v-8 th350 combo in the fwd position. It should be a stock length and I wonder if any of the 80/90 years will fit.

I read someplace that the corvette ODs were not desirable for some reason for our trucks and if I can find it I'll post the link.
