Hello. I have an 88 camaro. I took the 700r4 out and put a TH350 in. i need to know how long the driveshaft needs to be and where i could get one. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

 

it depends on how long the output shaft is on your tranny. the th350 has several different lengths that will determine your driveshaft length.

 

If its a 6" tailshaft turbo 350 a drive shaft out of a 82 f-body with a th200c
or 4-speed will work. I think the length is 41" from weld to weld

 

th350 with 6" tail = th200 200c 250 250c 2004r powerglide


th350 with 9" tail = 700r4


if you already installed a 6" tail th350 then you done already messed up and will have to try and find a 200C driveshaft- in which was only in 82 and 83 and-but is the required 3" longer that you need now

alot harder to find

good luck

 

I would slide the slip yoke into the back of the tranny all the way then pull it back out 1". Measure from center of u-joint on the tranny yoke to center of u-joint on the diff yoke. That's the length you need. then take your 700r4 drive shaft to a machine shop and get them to shorten it. Thats what I did when I had a TH350 in my car.

 

thanks for the help. Got I buddy who's got a junk 82. I appreciate all the help
