68 GMC 327/700r4 location questions

[koz68gm]

I have my 327 bolted in along with my trans. I know from reading a previous post that I am using the 6 cyl stands in the 6 cyl position. My truck used to be 6 cyl so I had them anyways and saw that they bolted up and never thought anything more of it until now. With the trans bolted in I just put my driveshaft in the trans end just to see what modifications would need to be made. With the shaft in as far as it can go in the tranny my driveshaft is about 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" to long. So my question is if I unbolt everything and and reverse my stands from the way they are now and of course reinstall my trans crossmember will that be enough for my driveshaft to go back In without modifications? Also I'm going to have HEI so the way it is now it might be touching the fire wall once I put the cab on? So I'm just wondering if that is what I should do. Better to do these things at this stage rather than farther down the road. ThanksPosted via Mobile Device
