I want to change my 3 on the tree to a 350 automatic. I have a 305 in the 6cyl. position. Which transmission do I need long or short tail shaft? I might use one of the mr gasket truck shifters. Have any of you used one? Let me know what you think of it.
Thanks

Short tailshaft. That is what my 283 had mounted in the rear position.With my new engine and the 700r4 I think the drive shaft will be 1/8" too long. Not 100% sure since I swapped in a 79 front xmemeber
