Re: engine swap transmission question
Not sure what you have in there now, but My brother and I swapped a th400 behind the 283 in my truck, and I don't remember modifying driveshaft.

Re: engine swap transmission question
It's a inline 6 and 3 speed now. So going 350 th350 or 700r4 maybe just not sure what's best.

Re: engine swap transmission question
700r4 will give you overdrive, but will require a driveshaft mod.
I think the TH350 will go in without issues, but you get no overdrive, and third ratio is still 1/1, so no real improvement there beyond not having to shift the transmission
