Th350/torque arm hook up

Can someone tell me how I can hook up my torque arm to a th350 other than buying the kit from b & m? Thanks in advance

if it isnt then you could use this kit..

it works great my brother ljnowell has it installed in his car with his th350 and you get to use your stock driveshaft and your speedo hooks right up because you reuse the 700r4 tailshaft with the torque arm mount on it



heres a pic of his installed on the transmission ...

certainly appreciate your reply. I haven't installed the tranny yet,I am switching from a manual 4 speed to the th350. My mechanic told me to get a short shaft 350 which I did, so my situation is a tick different. I was told from a earlier post that my driveshaft should hook up.{hope so}

Short-tail TH350 will need a different driveshaft. Long-tail TH350 or a TH350 with the kit ljnowell used can re-use the 700R4 driveshaft. If the trans you have is a short-tail, I'd recommend the kit ljnowell and the general are talking about.
