1972 SWB Drive Shaft Length.
Hi all, I am sure this has been discussed many times. I have a 1972 SWB with a 400 sbc and turbo 350 (short tail shaft) I have a 2 pc drive shaft to go in it. But a friend knows of 1 piece driveshaft the owner sears came out of a 1972 6cyl 3 speed. Was wondering if anyone might know what the length should be on a drive shaft, center to center of the ujoints?
Thanks Eddie |

Re: 1972 SWB Drive Shaft Length.
in this case cit is far better for you to get under the truck and measure what you need to get the right measurement

Re: 1972 SWB Drive Shaft Length.
Which frame holes are your engine stands bolted to, front or rear?

Re: 1972 SWB Drive Shaft Length.
I had to have my drive shaft lengthened by 4 inches when I did my 6 cylinder to 350 swap, but I kept my 3 speed manual transmission. This is using the forward mounting holes for the v8.

Re: 1972 SWB Drive Shaft Length.
You really should measure. Mine is 350 on front mounts/700r4/ 55 9/16 shaft. All I had was the trans yoke and it cost me 230 out the door for new one.
