6l80e swap into 68 chevy truck driveshaft?
 
I installed an LS3 out of a 2012 camaro into a 68 chevy pickup. Tranny has a 3 bolt mount with a dampner on the tail. What is the best way to go as far as a driveshaft?

How long will it need to be? Might be better to make it 2 piece, then it won't matter that there is no slider on the trans as it would be on the back half of the driveshaft.

You can either have the trans disassembled and converted over to a 2wd pickup style unit with a traditional tailshaft (or sell it and get a 2wd pickup unit). Alternatively, you can set up crossmember that accepts a slip yoke style carrier bearing along with a 2 pc driveshaft. That might sound wonky, :rolleyes: but any local driveshaft shop should be able to accommodate that solution. Also, the 2 pc driveshaft solution can sometimes help resolve pinion angle problems.
