I am in the middle of swapping in a built 700r4.
From other threads on here I was not expecting any impact to my total length and thus not needing to change any driveshaft lengths. A good write up with calcs shown here:
I purchased the trans with the 32 spline output so that it would match to our np208s. I was expecting the shaft output of the trans to be the 32 spline from discussion with the builder, however I received an adapter instead. First question, is this adapter what is typical? Or is it normally the output shaft of the trans switched to 32 spline?
Im not overly concerned about having to use the adapter, however due to the extended length of the shaft, I am now not able to use the 700r4 to np208 mating adapter I planned as the splines bottom out before the TCase is mated to the trans. The spline adapter also came with an mating adapter to use the TH400 to np208 mating adapter. But the overall length of this assembly is another 0.270 longer.
From that thread I included above I was expecting 0.1875 overall length increase, which was not an issue. But now I am going to be ~0.4575 longer.
The truck is currently taken apart so I can’t play around with field measurements, but is this going to be an issue? Will I have to shorten my rear driveshaft?

The One Stop 700R4 Swap M1009
Since I was not able to find an Oem TV cable, I experimented with a TV cable that was a few inches longer and it worked out great with the adjustment. See part Y-225. Sold on Amazon for only $15. See pics.
