wouldn't that be entirely subjective on what motor mounts and position the engine is in?

You may need one of these

Seriously though I'd hate for you to order the wrong one based on someone else's measurements.

They are the 73 and up motor mounts.

I was at pullapart and wanted to grab a driveshaft. I thought I'd ask a quick question.

What's in the picture?

My '72 had a 350/th350 combo ( I believe in the front frame mounts). I went to a 5.3L with ECE mounts. (I used the stock tranny mount but moved it back a little and redrilled the mounting holes in the frame.) Regardless of the mount, I had to shorten the driveshaft approx 2"....But, I guess it would also depend on which tailshaft the original tranny had. (and if the 4L60E has different length tailshafts.

But, yes, it all depends on YOUR set up...
