Re: Factory 2WD w/ 700R4 Tranny
Depending on how low you go with it will effect the length of it. It might not be the same as someone else's. Just a thought. Personally i'd wait til I got it in to worry about it.

Re: Factory 2WD w/ 700R4 Tranny
Well....I like to set small easily attainable goals that way I can reach them and feel good about myself, but all that in one day...you never know.

Re: Factory 2WD w/ 700R4 Tranny
Keep in mind "GQ" runs and drives, we are just swapping the frames over. I think
it is very possible. We are going to attempt it during my cookout this November.

Re: Factory 2WD w/ 700R4 Tranny
Just make sure you pass out the adult beverages AFTER the swap and not before.
It sounds like an episode of Overhaulin' "Tennessee style"! |

Re: Factory 2WD w/ 700R4 Tranny
Yeppers, we do something at every cookout, this will be a large attempt. Last
year we swapped clips on a Blazer from a 72 to 67 and removed a A/C dash ![]()

Craig, I could send you the measurements that I used to get a driveshaft made for my swb with a 700-r4, then subtract 11 inches. Note quite scientific, and I'm not 100% positive that it would work, but it might be worth a shot.

Re: Factory 2WD w/ 700R4 Tranny
Just put one in my '72. 4-6 drop. I cut 3.25 out of mine and it's about .25- .35 shorter than the recommended 3/4 inches of shaft showing. Best bet is to measure it on yours though. A slight difference in engine location, height, etc. is going to throw the number off.
