I destroyed my 4th BUILT 700R4 a few months ago and im putting in my new built th350, i have yet to purchase anything for it yet, just the converter and tranny itself. It is to my understanding that I can use the stock 700r4 transmission crossmember, but can i use the stock bracket for the torque arm to mate it to the trans or no? if not where can i get one at?

 

b&m, i think the pn is 30029

 

i used the B&M kit to convert over. It has a bracket that moves the trans mount approx. 3" over and another bracket to mount the torque arm to the TH350 tailshaft.

 

what do you do as far as cooling for the th350 transmission? i have the hard lines from the 700R4 will they plug in or what?

 

5/16" brake line hooked up to the trans and ran to the stock radiator. i think i used the 52" and 48" lengths from autozone. this is american thread, not the metric version of 5/16" so make sure it's SAE brake line threads.

 

i was also told to not connect the kickdown cable and to just shift myself. will that hurt the tranny?

 

i still have a kickdown cable on mine, no reason not to put it on there if you have one available....saves me from having to pull the shifter back all the time.

 

was it the stock th350 kick down, could you take a pic of it on the motor for me so i can see how it goes?
