If your TH350 is a 6" tailshaft, you'll need a longer driveshaft, like one that came from an '82/'83 w/TH200. Or, take your current shaft to a driveshaft shop and tell them to retube it 3" longer.

If your TH350 is a 9" tailshaft, you're in good shape.

Yea i know a stick is cool...but my 350 has a brake and a manual valve body so it really kicks butt. When the swap is complete i will be sure to let all of you know what i am goin to do with the trans .. also the clutch is only 3 months old.But i will tell all of you first before i get rid of anything.
