Putting Turbo 350 Into a '87 K5

STOP before you order it .
if not redoing drive shafts you will need a fits all spacer kit and the correct 2wd tail shaft to make it all bolt up and keep the shafts the same length .
if not then go for it . same 27 spline from th350 to 700r4 .

So it is shorter, correct? I need a slightly longer shaft due to lift etc. anyways. I had planned on taking a pick up shaft and cutting it down.
front will be shorter and rear longer . around 1.75" shorter th350 over 700r4
Got it, it is a toss up, I bought a 465 and transfer case or T350. I rather not replace the 700 and have similar problems a year from now.
I would just get a crate tranny from places like bowtie overdrives . lots of guys here have used them in the past .
keep the 700r4 and have the deep first and also OVERDRIVE with todays fuel prices and highway trips .
my buddy recently did a sm465 to nv4500 swap .
he has 4.56 gears / 38x12.50 / 465 he was doing 3200-3300 around 70mph .
now he has droped almost 750 - 800 rpm and LOVES it on the highway rips to play areas around here.
when I redo my k30 plow truck body next year I have a fresh in the shipping crate a 4l80-e for it and the factory 205 adaptor for the 4l80-e
. bye bye th400 non overdrive .

I just sent them a email for a 700R4. Thanks for the idea.
