I do believe the trans mount is in a different place so the crossmember would need to be modified since I dont think any 2nd gen had a stock crossmember that would fit the 700r4. The driveshaft is a different length, I believe the th-350 one would need to be shortened. Also you would need a new shifter since the th350 is a 3 speed and the 700r4 has overdrive, plus then if you want to retain the 4th gear lockup function, you'd need a special wiring setup with a switch. Its almost more work and money than its worth to do the swap. I would recommend just buying another TH-350 and keep that.
