Welcome aboard.
The only real "issue" is mounting the torque arm. TH350's with that mount are rare. You can get a kit from B&M, or really do the right thing and get the conversion kit from our sponsor above, Spohn. That will locate the crossmember in the right place, and also hook the torque arm to the crossmember where it belongs.
The only other thing to consider is tailhousing length. Most TH350's are 6" tail, so your driveshaft will be too short. There are also 9" tails out there, in which case the driveshaft will be the correct length.
When you get done, send all your T5 stuff to me...
