Our J motors used a 'short' ( about 26") F4W63 4 speed when installed in the older 520. Later trucks with the L16 used a similar length transmission. As the 620 evolved it got a stronger and longer (31.5") F4W71B 4 speed. So the 620 does come with a longer driveshaft for the earlier F4W63 and a shorter for the later F4W71B. I would think it's just got to be easier and cheaper to just have one made there. 1 Link to comment
Gary Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 sorry fellas i forgot about mentioning that ive got a 5speed bluebird box to go in, which is a longer trans than the 4 speed column ive got now. i just measured the trans, its about 31" to my eye so id dare say its the latter of the two boxes you're talking about there mike (~31.5") my current J 4speed box is around 26-27" to my eye, fair innaccurately measured by me though heh i didnt know of the differences between front sections of the tailshaft :( i did search for a few 5speed swap threads and didnt find mention of tailshafts, maybe didnt search deep enough though excellent info as per usual mike :D thanks man so i guess i'm after the later year front section, the shorter of the yoke sections for an L series 620 :) Link to comment
