Need some help or guidence because I just keep running into problems .. heres the story Started out with a 1985 elcamino stock 305 engine and a turbo 350 trans. Then ungraded to a 8.5 "grand national rearend and shortened the drive shaft 1" for the rearend to fit as i've read.NOw after 2 years I've begun the zz383 install and decided to go with a new turbo 350 crate trans. first problem was the motor and trans went in real tight, then the trans crossmember wouldnt fit i had to cut the mount part off so it wouldnt hit the trans pan. and now the drive shaft is not fitting and looks to me needs to be shortened another inch to fit. MY question to all of you is what happened? how is everything not fitting now when im puttuing back in exactly what i took out.
replaced a 350trans with a 350 trans now the 350 trans crossember dosent fit both have the same 6" tailshaft
I was asuming that the outside of the engine blocks to be the same deminsions as far as length wise goes but i dont know all the mounting locations are the same but everything seems to be sitting back at least an inch further. IS the block longer or engine case longer . from my measurements dosent seem to be but as you can see i'm spinning in circles now because i just don't know anymore someone please help.
