Question for tranny swap. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi to everyone. I'm turning to the board for some needed advice. I currently have a '80 2WD with a 305/350 tranny with the reverse starting to go out. I've been keeping a eye in the local classifieds for a used 350 trans to swap out. I may have located a 350/700 setup out of an 85 for a good price but not sure if it would be a direct swap. If possible, I would like to use the old 350 engine as a core for a reman, then bolt the the 700 back onto it and place it into the '80. Would that be a relatively easy exchange or would some modifications be involved? If not, what trans should I be looking for?
Thanks in advance.
