Easiest: TH200C. Everything bolts in. Want one? I've got one with 45k miles on a rebuild, worked fine when I pulled it for the LS1/T56 project. Yours for picking up.
Fabrication: Nothing is needed if you choose the right parts.
If you really want to do the TH400, you can get a swap crossmember from Hawks for it that mounts the torque arm on the crossmember for about $250. You'll still need a driveshaft, though.
You could go with a TH700 tranny and use all factory components from the JY.
