    727 long tail vs short tail
    « on: September 01, 2018 - 12:47:09 AM »
    I want to swap my slant six for a 360. Is there a difference between a 727 short tail and long tail housing trans, as far as the cross member mount? I know I would have to change the drive shaft.  Thanks

    Does this info help?


    That chart doesn't show anything about the short tail shaft trans....  Short shaft was HD Truck, not used in passenger cars & the mount location is different.... Long shaft trannies are far more common, why make more work for yourself...

    This info is great. The reason I was asking, I have a 904 trans in the car now. The tail housing on this trans looks short. Thanks again.

    Long tail housing is about 18"....   Short might be 12"
