BMR makes a conversion crossmember for the TH350.

ttt
can the m6 crossmember work or do I HAVE to get another one?

what about how the torque arm mounts up? is the only option to run a mid mount torque arm?

i know its people here that have done the swap!

I think most of the swap kits with the crossmember and all come with a braket for teh torque arm too.

Brian, I did this TH-350 swap about three
years ago and to the best of my memory this is what you will need.

Crossmember from automatic F-body.
Longer driveshaft(your stock driveshaft
would work with a 9.5" tailshaft).
Dipstick from later model GM PU.
Tranny cooler/lines.
B&M tailshaft torque arm adapter.
Plate to cover big hole in floorpan left
by previous T56 shifter.
Wired neutral safety switch to bypass
clutch.
