drive shaft help!!
Doing engine swap, from a 2.8 to a 350, the 2.8 has a 700r4. The 350 will have a 700r4, my question is will i need a new drive shaft or are they the same size?

Everything will come together just fine. Like TTOP said the motor mounts are the only thing that move.

Re: drive shaft help!!
In the process of moving the motor mounts you will probably need to rebend brake lines slightly, should be no problem. I am putting in a V8 and T56 and can reuse my driveshaft and motor mounts, after moving, but need a new transmission crossmember (T56 mount is further back). When I do the swap I will pull front coil springs to have better access to motor mount bolts inside the K member and for replacement.
