I am guessing that I will need a shorter driveshaft for 1950 overdrive transmission than for non overdrive transmission?

They are the same. So is the motor mount, you just need to turn it around.

Whew, that's good. Tail shaft length is the same just different mount location?
These electric or manual activation? On the dash..or under..?
I am about to convert from regular trans to OD.

Thanks, Steve
