S10.....tranny swap.

I have an 83 S10 Blazer 4x4, with the 2.8 /auto trans with OD..............I am thinking of
doing a v8 swap with an automatic. I have a turbo350 with short
tailshaft laying around. I was told that I can take the tailshaft
housing off and put on the transfer case adapter, with only slight
modification to the inner shaft. I was told that I could cut about an inch off the shaft and still have enough spline to go into the transfer case.

Anybody know any more on this subject?

the auto trans in the s-10 now should be a small bell 700r4 turbo hydramatic with a 4x4 out put shaft .

To cut a short piece off the 6 inch output shaft of the t-350 tranny , then bolt the t-350 in place will require the spacer / adapter that was developed when 700's were being replaced by the hundreds. The adapter is machined to insert and align the parts. Standard OE style Square cut O-rings are used. The kits came with some pieces of ALL thread and nuts to bolt it all together

The 6 inch t-350 turbo hydramatic output shaft is tooo long to cut off and directly bolt up. There would be NO splines as I recall.

The adapter was used to keep everyt thing lined up with the shorter t-350 turbo hydramatic
