Default Trans swap ?

What are the PRO'S and or CON'S if any to switching from a 4L60E to a Turbo 350 ! I have someone who has the 350 already set up, ( tail shaft, drive shaft etc.) for an easy bolt in. at a steal not a deal price! Any input would be appreciated. My car is in the sig. Thanks

well just expect your gas mileage to go down and for it to scream on the highway , other than that it should be good for what you want, not sure how it would work with the speedo and the PCM and all of that, you will probably want to research that
