I'm looking at a 58 Saginaw 3 speed /w electric overdrive. Will it fit up to my existing 235 without modification to my drive shaft? Is the overall length of this the same as the standard 3 speed without overdrive?

if it's an original 58 OD 3 speed, yes it'll fit right in

There's only about 1/8" difference, with the overdrive being the shorter one. Won't make any difference once it's installed.

And it is well worth the effort to install one.

Can't agree more. Thanksgiving 950 mile round trip, avg. 17.8 mpg, 65-75 mph (Tom-Tom, so I know it's accurate). As below in my signature.
