It Really Runs!!

My ASE mechanic which just so happens to be my Step-Dad, came over and


ok. I FINALLY get the new engine to start and run and my ASE mechanic which just so happens to be my step dad came over and helped it to purr like a kitten!! the problem was all of the valves were too tight. I haven't a probelm one. and i can now go out there and turn the key over with out any choke and it will fire right up. PTL \o/!
anyways:
I get ready to put the drive shaft in and look at the splines on the front yolk and the look really fine and the output shaft on the tranny looks coarse. So ok I put the drive shaft through the hole and line the carrier up and the yolk is a good 3 inches from the output shaft of the tranny.
See this thread: ( linky of shaft needed) to help me out
I've got a 350 in the V8 position with a stock 3 speed with a short tail which came from a 67 pickup with an I6 in it. what are the measurements of the new drive shaft i need? thanks guys.
