What does the adapter consist of? Is it just to adapt to a different hole size or a signal generator specific to the 350s housing?

Here you go. This kit allows you to put your 700r4 tailshaft with its electric speedo on the th350 transmission

Anything that was need to know for doing this? What problems did you run into? How difficult was it to hook up the shift linkage, speedo, and what type of driveshaft issues did you have? I've blown out my 2nd 700r4 and am ready to put in something different.

Thanks,
Mike
