Can anyone tell me the length difference between a e4od & a zf5? I did a engine & trans swap in my '90 F-350. I have the correct length front driveline & had to have the rear lengthend. Still has the 1356 until I get my 203/205 doubler. Anyway I sold the e4od & never thought about measuring it. After holding the driveline in there & what I read on here it came out to needing to be 5" longer. Had it "lengthend" & it's still 3" too short.. So I'd like to get the length difference between the two trans, or the length of a stock driveline with a zf5 & a 1356. Thanks.
I did check the junk yards but, they weren't in the truck or bent in half.

 

Can anyone get me the tube length of their rear drive line. Truck needs to have a zf5 with a 1356 t-case. Need to know tonight PLEASE.

 

never mind. I was right, they were wrong, so they fixed it at their expense. thanks for the help.

 

Sorry I didn't see this sooner, but I just did a ZF swap in place of a E4OD, and my rear shaft only needed to be 2.75 inches longer...

 

Really? I came up with 5". Since the D/L shop got the measurements mixed up with something else they fixed it the way I wanted & it fits right now.
