700r4 to TH350 Swap on 4x4

[74CustomK20]

I have a 1990 k1500 gmc, with a 700r4 (3rd one now). Instead if building a 700r4 I'd rather go with a TH350 because of the stregnth and this truck is much just a farm truck. Plus I have a 350-203 setup so ain't gotta buy one. Anyway what's needed to swap this? I know the crossmember will need moved, so I'm ok with that. I also know the TH350 has about 1" sticking past the end if the housing, and the 700r4 has about 3"... anything needed swapped or anything? Thanks ya'll!!

The 203 is the wrong side drop for that truck btw.The 88-98 trucks used a drivers side drop t case while the 87 back trucks used a passenger side drop.You might wanna look in to a adapter kit to use the stock t case in the truck or you can use any ford t case with a adapter kit.But its probably cheaper to rebuild that 4l60e you got in it now.

Thanks Andrew it has the 700r4 in It now, but the cheapest I found to rebuild the 700r4 was about 750 bucks, and since I done got the TH350 I figured it'd be cheaper. Maybe someone can chime in, but I've heard if you get a car 2wd trans, you can cut off part of the output shaft and just use the stock adapter and transfer case, which I do plan on using. Anyone have info on this?
