Maybe try and loosen the tranny crossmember bolts to the frame. I might help it settle a little bit more. Maybe the difference between the powerglide and the th350 is too much different. Probably not enough to look different, but maybe enough to bind. I wrestled my 350 into place over 307 frame mounts not realizing the frame mounts were different from 307 to 350 and fought with it, but finally pryed the mounts just enough to get it settled in. Could be your frame mounts are differnt from what a 350 needs. Just a couple of thoughts. Good luck!
