th200-4R into a third gen, how to, is it possible?

Hey guys. I am going to yank my motor out of my '88 soon and would like to throw in the 305 I have lying around so I can still drive the car while working on my motor. The plan was to pull the 350 and the 10" converter, and throw in the 305 and a 12", but the th350 is about to bite the dust, so that won't work. I have a 305 and a th200-4R out of a '87 Buick Regal sitting on my floor. I would GLADLY put this powertrain in my car for the time being so I have something to drive. Is it possible to put in the 200 tranny in a F-body? I can fabricate my own tranny cross-member, that won't be a problem, and the driveshaft I can get done easily. BUT the torque-arm is what I am wondering about. I have the B&M kit to put a long-tail th350 into the 3rd gen, will this kit work on the 200. I noticed a long slot in it where the torque arm mount can be adjusted, but not sure if it'll work. What am I looking at here. I really wanna do this on the cheap so I can work on my powertrain over the winter. Any thoughts? Thanks guys.

$355, kinda pricey but it would be the easiest route probably...

Good news! The TH350 and 2004R are nearly identical in size. It should bolt right in! You might need a custom TV cable though...

EDIT: I think the trans mount might be in a different location.
