If the transmission comes with the crossmember, transfer case, and possibly the driveshafts, it should be a fairly easy swap. If the trans is a TH350C though, then you may have to do something with the torque converter lock up circuit as I'm not sure that it is activated the same as the 700R4 circuit. Never really looked that deep into it though.
