3rd gen drive shaft will work, you'll neeed to buy b&m pn 30299 to make it all work.

there are two different driveshaft lenths for the Thirdgens. one was for the TH200C. and the other is for the 700R4. to put a TH350 in your car you will need the TH200C driveshaft(you can get one out of an 82 T/A or 82 camaro). the 700R4 driveshaft is too short because the 700R4 tranny is longer because it has 4 gears instead of 3.

Th350 length
6" tailshaft

9" tailshaft
30 11/16

12" tailshaft
33 27/32


700r4
All except Corvette

The th200c shaft is about the same length as the th350 6 inch tail shaft, so that drive shaft will work.

How did you do that without changing it?

I was looking for info on putting the 350 turbo into my car and this thread popped up on Google. I don't normally look at the dates on these threads.

 

if you dont already have a good th350, check out trans specialties they have been in business for over 30 years and build some tuff stuff,i think my competition th350 was 846.00 with the 9" tailshaft bolted right in
