Yes Sir; I used a cross member from a 1980. I had to cut slices out & welded them back in, to miss the floor, which was made for the power seat unit. Everything bolted right back in, without any trouble. But it was very cheap fix, I think I could of used the 700 R member with a little welding also. But I wanted to save it for a future change. LOL Sorry, I have not used a g force unit. I didn't know they made these. Have a great day. Gene

we used the G-Force replacement on our 82 to allow for true duel exhaust ..... but still used the 700 R4 ..... not certain why you would want a TH350 ..???
It bolted right in with minimal adjustments .......
