What year?  4x4 or 4x2?  The Trans crossmember just needs to be moved back to the TH350 location.

You'll need the detent switch and wiring... Other than the driveshaft the rest is pretty straight forward.

yeah, sorry.  To the set of holes for the TH400.  Read that backwards.

I'm not sure what you're asking? If you have a short shaft Th-400 you'll need a different driveshaft. The yoke on the 400 you have is bolted to the tail shaft right? You'll need a drive shaft like this one in this thread http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=7334.60
