Default Drive shaft length TH400
Wondering what the difference is from stock to a TH400. Engine adapters should have the motor in the stock location, just not sure what the difference is in length to a 400 trans.

Driveshaft is longer unless you have the long tail version then it is stock length.

Thats cool i guess, just need a drive shaft from a truck to shop down then, probably stronger with a longer drive shaft anyway.

Alright, my findings were that a 700R4 is 30 and 3/4 and my TH400 is 28", so 2 inches minimum i figure.
