8.5 rear

[FrIeDTiReS55]

Ive seen somewhere that guys have been saying that you have to shorten the driveshaft for a turbo 350 when you install the grand national 8.5. Can someone tell me if this is true or not? I am super close to buying one yet im unsure if i will because of the added work that involves doing so. Once again im running a turbo 350 so will this affect the length of my driveshaft or is it ok to bolt in right away?

-1" shorter driveshaft, transmission doesnt matter, its the rearend thats longer at the yoke

Got it. Now where the hell do i get a shortened driveshaft?

Find a local driveshaft shop and they can shorten it for you.

Wouldnt it work if i just bought a grand national driveshaft too?

GNs didn't come with TH350s.

that doesnt matter, its still the same length driveshaft, 51.5" ctc, the 350 and 200r4 are the same length
