So while I was under the truck today and noticed my driveshaft yoke hanging out there. It’s over 2-inches out. Yikes! I was driving it like this when I bought it, no weird shakes though. I can’t chance it with the big block. I did some measuring, and it looks like the TH400 I figured I could rebuild later is about 1-3/8” longer (29” vs 27-5/8”, both short shafts). So the engine will come back out. I’ll be better off rebuilding the TH400 now anyway, just another delay. The driveshaft should be just about right but if not that’s an easy cut down or I have a big 3-1/2” driveshaft from a 78 c30 that I can cut down to length.
