Im sizing down a driveshaft. Originally the car has a 700R4 transmission and Im going over to a TH-350 short shaft (6" tailshaft) and I need the exact dimensions from a 82 200C driveshaft center to center (meaning center of u-joint to joint) so I can fit this up Im pretty sure its supposed to be 45" but any help willl be greatly appreciated. If you guys could give me a perfect measurement center to center

 

why don't you just get under your car and measure what you have? a th350 w/9" tail shaft is direct swap for t5 and 700r4s.

 

well to be perfectly honest with ya there isnt even a driveshaft underneath the car. i parted out the tranny and driveshaft to a buddy with a 86 Firebird. The tranny blew up and he wanted the overdrive the 700R4 couldnt handle the power of my 355. Otherwise I would measure Im just sorta stuck between a rock and a hard place. I know the 9" tailshaft is a direct swap but its a short shaft 350 not a 9". If anyone can pull through with the dimensions I would really appreciate it thank you.

 

there's 3" differance between short and long shaft th350s, so you'd need stock length + 3". sorry i don't know the stock length.

 

yea thats the part i know about the 3" difference and its killing me cuz i need the exact measurement from the center of the u-joint. thanks for the help though ede i really havent been a frequent user of this site but i think that this is the only good place on the net for third generation camaros and firebirds (theres a couple out there that are absolute jokes). if anyone else has any information on the driveshaft length send it this way.

 

tell me what exactly you need me to measure....ill do it tomorrow or whenever i put in my flexplate

 

my camaro is on jack stands, if i think of it i'll measure the DS, it'll be friday before i have a chance. PM me if i forget.

 

the length of the driveshaft center to center

 

center?

 

44 and 11/16ths of an inch.

45 is probably close enough.


BTW I have one that I don't need now.

 

thanks a billion guys for all the help i really appreciate it. i went with 45" to 45 1/45" hopefully this will put an end to all this nightmare
