What trans are you trying to put in? IIRC, short tailshaft TH350 is the normal "car TH350" and the long tailshaft TH350 is the same length as a 700R4. Hope that helps. 700R4 would have been stock in an '84 though.

Maybe... I'm more familiar with the manual trans that came with these cars. Wait for someone else to chime in and see what they say.

If you are planning on putting in a TH350, then you will need to get a torque arm mounting kit which are REDICULOUS in price at right around $100. A person could easily build there own for pennies or nothing at all if they had a welder and some scrap steel. JMO

Re: WHAT TRANS DO I NEED 4 MY 84 Z-28

the t5 5 speed and the 700r4 use the same driveshaft=fact
this means they are the same length
the swap you wish to perform must be a thm 350 cause they are the only trany i know of for your options (GM) with either option
short shafts are more desirable
long shafts are plenty strong and if you wana save some money by not purchasing a new driveshaft
then yes get the long shaft thm 350
and your driveshaft will slide right in
