i have a 2000 camaro ss org a a 6 speed car ,but when i bought it it had a
th400 setup in it, with stock rear end stock torque arm but rear end relocters and adjustable lower controll arms with a 28'' tall tire not sure about uppers,just did a swap with a real nice guy on the site my hole th400 setup for his t56 drive shaft and all. He put the th400 setup in and the drive shaft was about an 1''and a half short could be a result in the suspension mods i have to fit the 28'' tall tire, am i gonna run into a problem when i get my t56 in and the stock style alum drive shaft be to long because the mods that were dune to my car to fit the tire under my car .just dont want the drive shaft to be to far in the tranny. Any help would be great

Is this a Transmission question or a tire question!!

If you want a 28" tall tire, look to make the rim smaller, also you need to take width of the tire/rim into consideration. The taller and wider the tir/rim is, your going to have to cut, bang, massage, or perhaps mini tub to fit.

But please re-clarify the question.

What tires do you have
What rims do you have
Have there been any work in the wheel well to begin with
