Dragster trans & driveshaft ?

I'm assembling a new dragster I had built and I'm trying to decide on if I should offer the chassis for sale with a glide or not....I have a shortie ATI and a full length Hughes .... the shortie would require a 24"-25" driveshaft and the full length trans would take a 3"-4"....OR ... let the buyer worry about it? This is a 6.0 cert car I had built for TD.....No tracks out here anymore so I'm building a street rod. Don't need the dragster now and don't want to put more money into it just to sell it....

Dave I presume this is a hardtail dragster.
Is there a tail shaft mount for the long shaft transmission?
With the full length transmission can you use a straight short coupler? If so that would be my choice.

IMO since going to have driveshaft either way I would go with short shaft if selling with trans.

Since rarely get everything back on racecar I would not even put a trans in it unless just needing to get rid of one.

I’ve never seen a dragster with a full length transmission…not to say that they don’t exist, I’ve just never seen one.

I would probably list it as a roller/no trans and say you do have a trans available for extra $ and maybe someone will want both and you can make a deal.

It's an ATI case and bell...don't remember what the 1st gear is.....I can look for the paperwork if it matters to you....I hadn't thought about a price just figured putting in this new dragster as a selling point...doesn't mean I won't sell it by itself though
