I assume the engine and TH350 are in the truck?

Get engine hoist to support engine - unbolt engine crossmember bolts and maybe the engine mounts.

Unbolt TH350 as normal to remove. When out, or while pulling TH350, slide engine forward 2+ inches - this is more than enough room now to jack the 700r4 up and to install it to the back of engine. Now slide the engine/trans back a little bit to bolt the the Tcase.

Make sure you have everything where you want it now drill the frame for the new holes where the engine crossmember sits. Bolt it up. Tighten everything up.

Done.
