I'd appreciate you guy's help with a friend's transmission trouble, if you please.
He has a 1983 half-ton Chevy pickup with a 454ci. engine with a 700r4 overdrive transmission, and the trans. is not shifting right.
He wants to go ahead and replace it, preferably with something that isn't an overdrive.
What he wants to know is if a 350th will replace the 700r4 without replacing the driveshaft?
He also needs to know if the 700r4 is the same length of the 350th, because he's trying to avoid changing the driveshaft.
Lastly, he needs to know the length of the 350th, powerglide, 400th, 700r4 and Muncie m20 4-speed transmission.
Do y'all know where to measure the trannie length from? Is it from the bell housing to the tailshaft, or somewhere else?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
