I have 2 th350s in my garage. One is a short shaft and one is a long tail shaft. I have no idea where they came from, what car they are out of, what year they are, who brought them in, or even what i am going to do with them.... I am aquiring a th400 and need to get rid of one of the th350s for space considerations. I guess Im hanging on to them if I ever change my camaro over to an auto.

As far as internals, are they the same.? Either stronger than the other.? I believe the short would fit better as far as driveshaft length? correct?

Anything else you could tall me about the short/long differences would be helpful.

The short tailshaft trans, 6inches, will fit better, no cutting of the driveshaft.
The two trans are the same except for length of tailshaft.
