1982 z28 th350 swap help please
Hey guys, I bought an 82 z28 a few years back and finally started building it. It's ready to go, but I've lost the drive shaft. I've put a 1986 th350 with the 9" tailshaft in the car. Can anyone give me an idea on the drive shaft length I will need, and also the transmission yoke length I should be looking for? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
I've been told 41.5" from center u to u. But I want to be absolutely sure before I have it cut. And also I need to know what trans yoke I need.

Re: 1982 z28 th350 swap help please
Im confused here. Or maybe i'm misunderstanding your post
If you have a 9 inch tail, th350 trans, then you just need a 83-92 t5/700r4 original drive shaft. It fits perfect/ You just use the trans yoke from the original 700r4 fbody drive shaft, no need to change that. I did a th350 swap last year and I reused my original drive shaft and it fit just right, as long as you have a 9 inch tail end on the th350.

TH350 is a 27 spline "GM small" yoke. Same as any third gen. Approximately 1.5" outer diameter. You don't need a very long one; the third gen suspension doesn't have huge travel. U-joint in a third gen driveshaft is going to be a 1310 (spicer reference number, not a PN) or a 3R Saginaw.

Yeah you need one 45-1/4" long from center to center of U joints for a th-350 6" tail swap.
I have one for sale. $100 local pickup or I will ship if buyer pays for shipping.
Here is my craigslist ad for it https://atlanta.craigslist.org/wat/pts/5504175074.html
came out of a 1988 camaro with a 350/th-350 short shaft swapped in. Had a Spohn th350 swap crossmember w/ loop, and adjustable torque arm (I have that for sale as well)
