If a 350 turbo, and a Muncie 4 speed, are the same length, would it not be reasonable, to think the driveshaft out of either application ,would be the same.

Hi guys and gals, I have always struggled with cooling my 396 when cruising around town. It's fine on the highway, constantly 185 degrees.

Installed the Mallory billet distributor that I picked up years ago in USA for $99. Looks good, but touches the 14" breather. It's huge! Probably will need an offset Moroso air cleaner. In hindsight, should have waited and bought somthing a little more compact. Still might. Like a MSD setup....
