Default TH350 to 700r4 swap

Looking at swapping out my th350 to 700r4.
I know I need a 3" shorter driveshaft.

Anyone know what cars I can get a driveshaft out of that will be a good fit or I can shorten?
Chevelle? El camino?

I want to keep my original driveshaft and tranny in case I decide to go back.

I gotta be straight with you...
I'm not sure there is a straight up swap from one trans to the other...
I do know the 700r trans is longer so you will definitely need a shorter drive shaft possibly have to have one custom made... Heres a company that does just that! Or possibly find out what other make model year will work for your swap!

Hope this helps!
Keep us posted and let us know what the resolve was..
Thanks!
