sam's 72, I think your on the right track, the 700r will hold up for you if properly built. I'm running a 2500 stall behind a 425 hp 396. I bought the tranny for $1000.us
from Extreme Transmission in Saskatoon, Sask. This shop races "Promod" (mid 6 sec. passes in the 1/4) around the country and warranteed the tranny for a year. I ran 13.7 before I added 150hp juice to it and now run approx. 11.9 and its still a daily driver. If you can get a 6 month warranty that would go a long way to ease your mind.
