e-brake cable? difference between transmissions?

Can anybody tell me if there is a difference in E-brake cable length/hardware between trucks that have TH-400 vs TH-350.
The reason I ask is because I am currently installing my cable and hardware, but beause I am using a 700R4/4L60 trans with a capice style tail mount and the autocross member in the stock TH-400 position, my cable set up is rubbing the mount on the transmission. According to inline tube, they have a different part number for the th-400 vs th-350, so I am assuming the cable length may differ, but what about the length of the fixed rod on the pass. side.
Anyone has any info, it would be greatly appreciated.

On the stock TH 400 truck the cross member has two strap brackets attached to it for routing the e-brake cable. The TH 350 equipped truck e-brake cable has the long rod to support it. The cross member does not have the two brackets on the TH 350 truck.

There has to be a difference between the two cables but because of the different routing I am not sure which is longer. Since you will need to make a custom setup anyway, I would suggest getting the longer cable, cut it to the right length, and referrule it with a new end. It is pretty simple to place guides in the right locations to support the cable.

With all of the 700R4's being installed on these trucks, there may be a chance of someone having done this before.

Good luck!

Interesting...Will now ask if anyone has a picture of a TH-400 setup or will start looking around for someone who has such a truck. My crossmember is a th-350 version (or at least I think it is)
My set up is not the norm...I am using a caprice tailshaft which allows the mount to be moved back. It can also be mounted like a TH-350, but requires new holes to be drilled in the frame, the drawback to this set up is, having to loosen/move the crossmember to drop the transmission pan.
