The t350 with the short (6 inch) is aprox 3 inches short. The long tail t350 is very similar in length but you would probably be moving the engine back further than the stock trans location for clearance in the front of the engine so that wouldn\'t help much. I think around here it cost me 75 to get a driveshaft lengthened and that was at a place that puts them together for tractor trailer trucks so I never doubted the quality. I have read before about someone with a t350 like yours taking their measurements to a local salvage yard and dug through a pile and found what they needed and I think it was actually from a monte carlo or malibu. Best to gwet yours lengthened or just have them make a whole new one.
