I've been searchin the internet and have diff answers about the lenght of each. Some say they are diff lenth some say they are the same??
-
I am trying to search my memory, I just answered this on another thread. I believe the 350 came in 3 lengths. 6" 9" and 12". The 700r4 is a 9" tail shaft I believe. Here is a link about the same subject.

What are you trying to do ? Are you thinking about changing out the 350 for a 700 r4 ? This has been done on here, there are threads covering this topic, you need to do some searching.
-
I have done the search I guess I need to stop by a trans shop and see my self
-
I can tell you the TH350 installed in my 1985 C10 is the same length as the 700R4 I removed from a 1987 C10 I parted out...
Not relevant to the question but if someone has a 3 speed column shift manual transmission and wants to make it an automatic, a short tail shaft TH350 will go in its place using the same driveshaft.

Well I got up under the truck and measured the tail and its the 9 inch so I'm good I guess:) so now I'm in for a 700r4

The drive shaft will work, but not sure of the cross member mounting, but that is easy to move.

Great what yeard do I need to lookfor

You will use the same cross member, just use a different set of holes. You may have to drill them if the year of your trucks frame never came with a 700R4 as an option. Just remember your safety glasses...

Check this out...
Ok so I have a sticker that showes that the truck came with the 700r4. When I look at the trans its a th350. When I look at the cross member where it bolts to the frame I see two diff sets of scew holes. So I know the trans has been changed out at some point.
-
Looks like you're good to go then
-
Yeah and I have the 9 inch tail on the th350, so I'm good
-
Is 65 bucks a good price for a core 700r4 somethin to rebuild. It came out of an s10. I'm waiting on him to give me the # on the trans
-
Well he gave me the #s
24202520 I'm gonna take a wild guess and say I can't use this one. He says it came from a 95 s10, central port injection...
-
He has also told me it has a K stampled on the bellhousing. I guess I need to figure out what spline count is on this thing. Its quite far away and I may be able to find one closer before I make that long drive. But it is 65 bucks
-
Ok so I looked at the yoke of the drive shaft and it sticks out like 3 inches... called up monster and dude quoted me like 1700 bucks of stuff. Not happenin. I'm gonna find that shop around here that had the trans for 450 and see what they have done to up grade it. If I feel as though it will get me by long enough to buy the monster in a box for 700 then Ill go that route

Well I'm gonna have a trans guy build the 700r4 for 200 bucks. Its cheaper than buyin all the speacial tools cause I'm just getting the basic monster in a box kit. So I hope this trans holds up.
-
for 200, what are they putting in it? Anything after 1987 will have the 30 spline pump. And is this going behind a 454?
-
200 to rebuild... I buy the parts (500) and supply the core(69). But $$$ are low now so I'm just gonna wait on the trans. Hopefully the th350 in now is still some good. Also I'm gonna stome by the school that I went to for ac. They have an automotive department. I want to see if they will do it for free:) I hope they do.
-
Oh... forgot to say its going to be a 350. When I first joined here I was on the hunt for a truck with a 454 already done up ready to go. But that hunt lead me all over tx with no good turn outs:(. So I decided to just get a truck for less than1000 put a engine and trans in it and have reliable transportation for now till the truck becomes a weekend cruiser or gas prices go down some.
