The TH700R4 mount location is only slightly off of where the TH350 mount location is - you can actually get the TH700R4 crossmember to work without any real modifications. The driveshaft will need to be LONGER if you have a TH700R4 now and want a TH350. A driveshaft for a car with a TH200C or TH2004R will be the proper length.

Having said that, you will be happier with a TH700R4 in that car, if for no other reason than the 3.06:1 ratio first gear.
