Powerglide transmission

Okay what I need to understand is this powerglide has a turbo 400 Shaft for the converter. What if anything should I be concerned about?

Looks like it is a long tail shaft. Measure it, you might have to cut your driveshaft.

You need to find out if the transmission has a stator bushing. If not the converter has to be set up for it. A bushing can also be installed in the transmission if the shaft will support it. If the transmission has a bushing any turbo converter will work. Most quality converters have a support bushing but check with the manufacturer.

It's not new my brother used it in a Chevy maro race car but he bought a bigger engine that had a transmission. So this was setting on the shelf so I bought it. Thanks for info.
