Do Saginaw 4 speeds come in different tailhousing lenghts?

If so, which length would I need to be a bolt in replacement for my PG.

Thanks!

Nope, all the same length, and Saginaw/Muncie and PG all use the same driveshaft length in 67-69.

Driveshaft or trans?

Tom a saginaw 3 or 4spd, Muncie, T10, etc are all exactly the same length including the bellhousing as the powergide you have now. Same crossmember & driveshaft. If you need any help figuring out what else you'll need send me a PM and I'll give ya a number to call. The only weird tailhousings I've seen on a Saginaw is on the 3 speeds they used in some vans. The mount hung from the top and there is no place to bolt on a regular trans mount. There was also a really weird Muncie 4spd used in some 60s station wagons that had a longer tailhousing & main shaft. I had a couple over the years and used them for parts to fix regular transmissions.
