i need to know how long a driveshaft for a th350 short tail trans will be in my 3rd gen. ive got a few driveshafts and just dont remember what one i pulled from the 82 camaro i parted out. im doing a th350 swap and dont want to go put all new U-joints in the driveshafts untill i find the right one and i havent got the trans in the car yet either and if i cant find the right one ill atleast have some time to have a driveshaft made.

 

there's 3" differance in a long and short th350 tail shaft, if that helps.

 

I had my driveshaft lengthened 3 inches for my 92 camaro from the stock t-5 to a TH350

 

I don't know the length of the driveshaft, but if your '82 had a TH200C, then it's a direct fit to the TH-350. (Research driveshaft length for '82-'83 w/TH200C)

Good Luck,

Ron

 

A long time ago I looked up a few things.

A Caprice with 700-R4 & 8.5" rear end has a driveshaft 2.92" shorter than one with a 200-4R & 8.5" rear end. A 200-4R & th350 use the same shaft. (2.92" longer than an 84-92 driveshaft is the answer to your question)

 

I just went and measured my driveshaft for ya and I got 44 1/2" from center U-joint to center U-joint I hope this helps ya out if you need help with anything else let me know

"No problem. It's 51in from the end of the yoke to the end of the yoke. This should be a good measurement for a competent driveline shop but if not the shaft is 46 3/4, center of U-joint cap to center cap is 49 1/2 (this is the measurment most shops use)and the complete driveshaft ready to install should be 56 1/2in."
