turbo 350 swap

I have a 90 Iroc -z with a 700r4 trans. I have a street/strip turbo350 in my garage that I want to put in my car. I am pretty sure I need a new driveshaft/ crossmember, and some kind of torque arm mount. the turbo 350 has the short tailshaft on it, so what would i need to make this possible?
thanks

u can get the conversion kit a paw the # is 1-818-678-3000
the part # is b&m-30299 itz called the th-700 to 350 changeover kit
if u go to a local trans shop they should be able to tell u where to get a drive shaft for it u might have to got one made in the 82 camaros the drive shaft from that would fit i think

if you use the long tail shaft, you can keep the same driveshaft...or if you use the 700 tail shaft you wont need the torque arm mount but not sure about the driveshaft with it.

so you mean that a 700r4 tailshaft will bolt up to a turbo350 and I can use the 700r4 driveshaft?
thanks

a friend had a th350 built up in his camaro, and had the 700 tail shaft installed while it was built, but I cant remember if he got to keep the same driveshaft...I'm almost sure he did! But I do know that he used the 700 tail shaft so he didnt have to buy the torque arm mount...

do you have to take the trans apart to change the tailshaft or does it just simply bolt on and off?
thanks
