Th350 long tail and 700r 4 ???

[454Man]

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.

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

[454Man]

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

[454Man]

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
