The TH350 is the easiest swap. Buy the B&M swap kit. It will have all the proper brackets and mounts to do the swap. You'll need a short tailshaft TH350 (6") to reuse your driveshaft. If you had a 700R4, you would need a long tailshaft TH350 (9").

TH375B is only in a BOP bellhosing bolt pattern although you could swap the internal parts into a chev housing.

TH400 isn't really required unless you have a powerful engine producing a lot of torque. I ran a TH350 in my race car for 2 years with no problems. I only went to a TH400 this winter because I needed a transbrake and it was cheaper to build.

If you put in the right parts and a 9.5" lockup torque converter, this transmission should hold up to 450-500 horsepower. If I can help let me know?
