depends on what drive shaft it originally came from,if its a 400 turbo drive shaft then no cutting required for the 4 speed,if it originally was from a 350 turbo then u will need to shorten the drive shaft.

Yes the 400 is 3/4" longer, and might bind. TH350 and 4 speed are the same length. You might want a new driveline, or at least rebuilt anyway, so small change and not too spendy to shorten.
