:W (1981) Still "getting ready" to swap the auto out & install the Muncie. Came across this problem. Although I have read on other threads that the driveshaft did not have to be modified, from my measurements, it probably will.
The driveshaft for the manual trans. is 1/8 to 1/4 " longer than the one for the automatic. (Have to use the Manual because it has a larger u joint at the trans.yoke)
The Muncie + Bellhousing = 3/4" longer than the THC 350 Automatic.
I'm wanting 1.5 to 2" of "play" or sliding room at the transmission end yoke, the same as the automatic currently has. (this is for suspension extremes that may cause the driveline problems otherwise)
Am I getting ready to have 1" cut out of my driveshaft that I just got balanced and new Spicers installed 2 days ago?:eyerole
Anyone thats done this on a 1981 could really be a help...maybe:confused
Anyone......? thanks in advance, Jim
