that was my concern too dont want to go too long or it could bind with suspension travel, but then I dont want it too short or Ill only be riding on half the spline channel Ill have to look at a couple driveshafts I have around here tommmorow, if I dont have what I need Ill get one off one of you guys here

if someone could measure their driveshaft and see if it's around 56 inches that would help me, then Ill be looking for an A body th350 driveshaft, because mine has already been modified for a Th400 and now is too short for the 700r4

In the summer I put the 385 and 700r4 into the Monte, got it all running but never got around to a driveshaft, the original driveshaft was for a turbo 400 and is completley different. Now I just measured it and Im around 56 inches in between the rear dif and transmission and I believe the output shaft on the transmission is a 27 spline output. Is there a driveshaft from another car that will work or am I gonna have to find a driveshaft from another A body, cut it down and find a 27 spline yoke?

thanks guys, just had the tranny upgraded to a 30 spline, stage 2 shift, heavy duty bands, corvette servo, shorter tail stock. Today I ordered the 24-2600 hole shot convertor from B&M. Now just gotta find some time to pull the engine back out, throw the new tranny in then its time for exhuast which is gonna be more shopping around. Cant wait only been 4 damn years (coming up to 5 now)

Well getting a real nice tax return, so Im getting the 700r4 built up for the 383. My question is what kind of stall should I be running for a convertor? Its a well built 383 stroker with a average grind cam, motor still has some bottom end but does still have a good lope to it. Someone said I should be running around 2500 stall then someone else says around 3000 stall? any reccomendations?

Im pretty sure thats what it is, no torque, means no torque convertor, it clicked in twice, if it wasnt fully engaged the engine and tranny wouldnt go together properly am I right? the torque convertor got water in it when it was sitting for a while too, no matter now because its coming out and a built 700r4 is takin its place

I am currently getting a 700r4 built for my car, but the turb0 400 thats in the car right now is dead. It worked just perfect when it came out of the chevy van, then when I put it into th Monte I got nothing, if I put the car on jacks itll move the wheels just fine, get the car going 90 miles an hour in third gear on blocks bust as soon as it gets put on the pavement absolutley nothing. I did put a shift kit in it so I bet I monkeyed something up, anything to look for to make it do something?

I dont know what the heck is going on but the damn thing is stuck in drive, it's not the linkage because I took the linkage all apart and its right in the freaken tranny, been three years to get the car on the road and I run into this

I am in the same boat as you, converting from A TH350 to a turbo 400, I actually found a u-joint at the parts store that has the bigger end caps on one side and the smaller end caps on the other side,workedlike a hotdamn

Wow am I ever shocked, he was one of the originals here, awesome guy, and to have this out of the blue, I don't know what to say, but at leasr he's having a good time (i hope) and looking down at us, RIP IN PEACE GEORGE and my feelings go out to the family

that is a wierd option, might be good thing to check every ss454 with the option, but that is the most obvious thing I have muttered all day

as Red Foreman would say " You're a dumbass!"

one of the ground wires attaches to the front side of your ebrake assembly, I just hooked it back up today when I put the new pedal assembly in today

I did the tranny shift kit in my th400 in an hour, mind you the tranny is out of the car and I worked on it upside down so the check balls wouldnt fall out, they are a pain sometimes

that blue GMC you took a picture of is Dwayne Mills truck, from here, friggen awsome truck, he used to cut my hair

where is the counter?

so if my car was built in Flint but was sold in Canada, I can get a build sheet?

With out this club I would be completly lost in my voyage to finish this car, I thank you Kevin for providing this resource to make it look like to my friends that I know what I am doing. Showing people this site also shows them why I wont part this car out to a Chevelle . And I am glad that you are resigning without a sex scandal

he actaually had cowl induction installed on his car thats cool. Nowadays if you ask GM for a special option on your vehicle they would laugh at you not like back in the day you could have your car like a wopper any way you wanted it

I dunno is it belt line?

haha as long as it doesnt have tar and chicken wire like the 72 parts car i got, that was the funniest body work I have ever seen

man thats a great motavational speech, when I feel like I over my head (for example right now) I will think of this speech

so Iguess it could be possible for someone to forget to stamp a motor too?

some car washes have "engine clean" modes, which contains a light solvent, that might work

even laquer thinner or lighter fluid will take it off, even bug and tar remover will work well
