Well,i have a 85 camaro w/ a 2.8L MPFI V6 and a 4 speed transmision.What kind of trans is this?Im putting in a V8 and im planning on putting in a t350.I heard a short tail T350 may be the same length as the trans in my car.Is this true,if so,i wouldnt have to change my driveshaft would i?I did some searches but couldnt find a good thread.Some help would be greatly appreciated!Thanx

 

you currently have a 700R4, that in no way, shape, or form will fit a SBC

you'll need a LONG-TAIL th350 to retain your driveshaft

 

Hmm,ok,thats good to know.Now what are the measurments of the tail of a long tail,compared to a short tail?Just so i can know which one i have out in the shop?Are you sure its a 700r4?

 

The TH350 with a 9" tailhousing is the same length as a 700-r4.

 

Damn,the tailhousing on mine is 6"s.So im guessing that means i have to get a longer driveshaft then.Is there any camaros that would have a driveshaft 3"s longer han mine?

 

Sorry,
All the 3rd Gens used the same drive shaft whether standard or auto....

 

Apology accepted...your statement is true only for V8-equipped 3rd gens.

 

no, his statement is true only for f-bodies after 83, V6 and V8

 

get a driveshaft out of a 82 or 83 f-body with a TH200c automatic

 

Thanx,ill start pokin around!

 

Doh! I stand corrected.
