As I understand it, it's very nearly a direct bolt-in. The only issues are
you need something to trigger the lockup, and you've got to move the
crossmember to the position you'd have for a TH400 trans (not 100% sure on
that). The driveshaft should stay the same length as it would with a TH350
in the car.
