Re: th350 swap drive shaft question?

if I can't find one with that tranny... Do you know the length of the drive shaft so I could have them match one by length....

Thanks for all your help....

The proper length is to slide the slip yoke all the way into the tranny then pull it back out 1". Measure from u-joint center to center. That's the length of the driveshaft to have one made.
