58styleking, Looks like you are going to have to shorten your drive shaft. You may want to check the angels as well, as they may need to be adjusted with the longer trany. Good luck Dan

You'll need to have the front shaft shorten. When I replaced my '58 powerglide with a 350TH, I brought my driveshaft to Driveline and had them shorten, balanced and installed a new carrier and installed a slip yolk at the third memeber.
