I have tried searching this but I just can't find the answer I am looking for.I am tring to find out what spud shaft I need to adapt a 23 spline Dana 300 to a 27 spline Turbo 350 trans.What I have is a 4x4 Turbo 350 that came from the factory with a NP205 T-case behind it and a Dana 300 out of a 81 CJ-7.I am using a factory adapter for a 700R4 trans to a NP208 T-case.I ordered a 27 spline input shaft from JB Conversions and it does not work the splines from the output shaft and the input shaft do not meet inside the adapter its like the trans output is to short.What do I need and where can I get it from?

you need the short 2wd tranny output, and you will have to shorten it...something like 1.75" or so. the th350/np205 shaft is too short for what you are trying to accomplish.

Well the short shaft 2wd Turbo 350 did not work,the shaft was about 3 1/2 inches to long.I called Advance Adapters and they sold me the spud shaft(the shaft in kit part # 50-6304) I needed to adapt the Turbo 350/ Dana 300.If anyone is attempting the Turbo 350/Dana 300 swap using a 700R4/NP208 adapter (spud shaft part #52-6302).The shaft was about $180 and they had no problems selling me just the spud shaft and not the complete $500 kit.

Ill see if I can dig up some info on this... I put the low max in my 300... with the adapter JB offers to adapt to the 300... the input shaft and clocking ring. You need the 4x4 350. Mine bolted up perfect...

That is rare to hear. JB Conversions is one of the best companies I have ever dealt with, and their products are absolutely flawless.
