do a title search for 700R4 and you will find lots of useful info.

-you can move your crossmember back and redrill
-need a longer speedo cable, available at any parts store ask for 4wd of same year
-shift linkage can be adjusted or an aftermarket, I used a CPP universal
-cooler lines can be reused
-driveshaft may have to be cut depending on short or long tail TH350
-700r4 dipstick (88-up chevy/gmc truck work great).
-TV cable, universal are the best in my opinion because you can adjust the sheath and cable or go 88-up again. (research this)
-trans pressure test gauge
-speedo gears
-lock-up wiring (research this)
that's everything I used.
