I've seen a lot of 700r4 to th350 threads, but not finding the info i need to swap a th350 into a t5 car.

I have a v6/t5 to 350/th350 project and have a few questions. What tail housing length should i be looking for and what vehicle would they be coming out of? Will my stock driveshaft fit? Will the torque arm fit? Just the basic questions...

 

From what ive read, the T-5 and 700R4 are readily swapable, if you have all the manual tranny related parts. But u shouldnt need to move the crossmember. The TH350 would sit closer to the front of the car as far as mounting is concerned. You will need either a longer driveshaft, or a long tailshaft 350. Also you will need a kit to mount the torque arm. FOr the crossmember, i believe UMI sells a universal crossmember, that bolts to stock location plus 2 more bolts, and has all the necessary bolts so you never have to drop the crossmember again regardless of transmission.

Finally i think u'll need a detent cable mounting on the engine. Its not hard, been done before, im sure someone will chime in.

 

If a 700R4 is the same length as a T5 then a TH350 with the 9" tailshaft should fit and use your existing driveshaft. You can get the torque arm mount for the TH350 from either Hurst or B&M.

 

Yes we do, our transmission crossmember will work with the T5, 700R4 and TH350 so if you stick with those transmissions you can use it for all three.

i believe this might be what your looking for http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/in...OD&ProdID=1929 it seems spohn makes driveshafts for any tranny for the f-body's, takes the headaches away, but with the cost of some of that green paper stuff that people carry in there wallets and pockets though.
Edit: you can take a th350 with a short tail shaft and it would fit right in there in place of the t-5 perfectly, but as you guys said before, you would still need the torque arm bracket, but for the driveshaft, use a short tail 350 turbo and your good to go!! and depending on the type of x-member you have, you could possibly use it aswell, but like in my case i couldnt, i have one of those kinds that are garbage, not even good with the tranny it came bolted to when it rolled off the aseembly line lol
