Hmm, maybe the other inches were from the different engine location.  I know the rear driveshaft needs to be shortened.

new question. I have found some 4L60e's, and np233's.  How much trouble would it be to get these to work?

4L60E is computer controlled, IIRC.  Gonna need the harness and computer.  NP233 is a 231 with an electric actuator instead of the shift lever.

an another questions
The only SYE's ive found on ebay appear to be only for jeeps. 231j.
If i got a blazer drive train, would I need a different SYE. One that fits 231c? Or or they both the same?

A 241 is about 150% larger then a 231.  It can work but there aren't as many options for it like there is for the 231.  The 231 has been used on 1/2T trucks like the (360) Ram 1500, (318) Durango, etc...

Because Jeeps are the only ones that really suffer from a short driveshaft.  All of the 231 family are the same basically.  You can mix and match parts still you get something that works.  So yes, you can put a SYE on a C, D or HD.

Another question. I found a brand new Tom Woods cv drive shaft with OX joints for a wrangler for $75. Thats a great deal, but its a front drive shaft. I will need a rear shaft for when I install my sye kit.
My question, once the power train is in place, could I then shorten this shaft and use it as the rear?

I didn't know OX made driveshaft U joints? TW mostly uses Spicer or his own Gold Seal joints. Sounds fishy to me.
Either way once you have your new drivetrain stuff installed it can be shortened and used on the rear.

Got the drive shaft. Its a beast. Dont know why he was calling the joints 'OX', but they are the golden seal joints. And looking up the ox joints, they are QUITE a bit different.
But never the less. Shaft acquired. Shaft good.

Now on to more questions. I was offered a BA10/np231amc for a couple bucks. So I just took it for parts. I know the BA stands for 'Barely Adequate'.

My newest question, ofcourse it all turned out to be 21spline  :brick: so can I get a 23 spline input gear and throw it in this 231, while it awaits an ax15?

you can bolt the bellhousing to a jeep ax15 or NV3550. as far as i know the output end is different (but can't tell for sure or what the differences are).

Yes and no.  Internally it's the same BUT externally, the Dakota's AX-15 is clocked a few degrees off center.

how's that working? the bellhousing is the same (vertical on both engine and transmission end) - are the belhousing bolts offset on the AX15?
