HELP! swapping 700r for th350...

hey please help guys, got an '86 iroc with 355 and i'm bolting this to a th350. what all is involved and where do i get it. some say i have to move my crossmember, and buy a bracket for the panhandle bar... others say i have to swap tail housings and yet others say i have to buy a longer panhandle bar- and move my crossmember. if you have any ideas or links to this advice i'd appreciate it. this is about the last step i'd like to figure out before i drop the beast into the pony killer. thanks

I did this on my 84 about 11 years ago. If I remeber right I only had to buy an adapter for the tourqe rod (probly the wrong name, it's the bar that goes from the axle to the back of the trans). I picked one up from Jeg's back then. I don't rember having to move the cross member.
