 I am taking the crap 70R4 out and was going to use a TH350 6" with shift
kit and use the tailstock from the 700R4 and put it on the TH350 to hok up
that dumb torque arm. Is this the right one I have to use (6") ? Anyone who
has done this and could pass on the info.. would be great.. thanx

I'm not sure if the tail housings will interchange, when I did this
many years ago I used a B&M kit to connect the torque arm.  I think
the kit is no longer available. It was a steel bracket that bolted on
the same bolts that hold on the tail housing and held the torque arm
mount.

Or get a rebuilt 700R4 from someone who knows what their doing and
will put a guarantee on it.

it will interchange.. I have done it but I used a 9" truck tranny and it was
too long causing the driv shaft to do damage. The adapter your taking about
is still available.. I was just wondering if anyone has done it without the
bracket and what size tail stock was on the TH350
