Maybe the slip joints in the driveshafts are what's making up the differences?

I wondered about that too. But I have heard that one of the automatics(th400?) was the same exact length as the sm465.
I will confess, I didn't do a direct swap from one to the other. I swapped the entire drivetrain from a 350/sm465/np208 to a 5.3/nv4500/np241c. I measured from the bellhousing mating surface to the rear of the clamshell mount. I matched that 14" measurement on the new engine, and bolted it in with the nv4500. The trans crossmember bolted right in like it did before.
