Turbo 350 short tail?
I have a 350 backed up by a turbo 350 short tail in my 91 camaro. I was wondering if you guys had any advice about drive shafts from the 4th gens fitting in that application?

4th gen driveshaft is same length as a 3rd gen. You'll need to get a driveshaft thats made for the swap.

A driveshaft for an 82-83 third gen that came with the 200c 3 speed tranny will fit. That's your only option other than getting a longer one made.
Take you driveshaft into a shop that does driveline work and tell them you want it 3" longer. They'll but off the yokes and put a new longer tube in between them.

For my th350 install, I got a kit that came with a longer output shaft and a spacer. Then the 700r4 tail housing will bolt up and you can connect the torque arm.
