To do the swap to an auto you need these items besides the trans.
auto flex plate
auto starter
auto trans cross member
radiator with auto trans cooler
transmission TV cable (after I completed swap took Burb to trans shop to have them adjust TV cable correctly)
swap to auto steering column or do what I did and use a floor auto shifter
will need to shorten drive shaft (have it balanced too)
install torque converter lockup if swapping to 700-R4 ( easy to install)
I don't think a TH350 swap would be easier than a 700-R4 because you still need all items but the torque converter lockup and depending on your engine you might want the OD.

If you had a TH350 and a I6 250 would you consider swapping it out for the 700-R4 ???
