I'm not sure about now, as I have been out a while, but used to be, ideal cruise RPM was 2200-2300 at 60 MPH. This is where gearing, tire size, OD, etc come into play.
Also remember a 700 has a 3.06 Low gear instead of 2.48 (I think that is the low gear of a 400, off the top of my head)

gldevall, will keep my eyes open for 700 for you. I just hooked my built one to the 396 today to go in my 67 Camaro.
I may could scrounge one up reasonable here in liberty.
