If you are just changing the outside cone there are just the 4 bolts and the mount to be unbolted and it will slid off there is an oring on the base of the housing if you are changing the output shaft the trans. has to be pulled and disassembled as it comes out through the front of the case hope this helps
If you were to disassemble the entire transmission, the last part to come out would be the tail shaft.
It would require the complete disassembly of the transmission because the tail shaft is the last part to come out of the transmission housing.
no it will not fit at all
If you are talking about the SPLND STEEL center shaft that the driveshaft slides over, Then you will have to take the transmission APART to remove the shaft.
The drive gear is in the tail shaft of the transmission. The driven gear is on the end of the speedometer cable housing.
with some modifications and a torque arm mount on the tail shaft, also a different driveshaft
i have a long tail shaft turbo 350 in mine, you have to modify the mount is all, it will fit

The center shaft that runs through the transmission and comes out of the rear of it will have to be removed because it is to short. Then you will have to BUY a center shaft that is for a 4-wheel drive transmission and install it in the 2-wheel drive 350 Turbo transmission so the transfur case will now slide up on the center shaft. You will also have to buy a rear tail shaft housing that is for a 4x4 350 transmission. But to do all of this you MUST disassemble the whole transmission. Now your spending more money. It may be cheaper to buy a 350 4x4 transmission ready to go CHEAPER. You do the math.
There were turbo 350's with both a short and long tail shaft that fit a chevy. Long shaft were common from 71-76.
the 2wd turbo 350 has a longer tail shaft NEW ANSWER: The center shaft in a 4x4 transmission is longer then a 2 wheel drive trans. The reason is that it has a transfur case on the end of it, and the center shaft must fit into the transfur case to make it work.
It'll fit, but you may need to relocate the tail shaft mount. Also, the driveshaft length may be different.
