Use the 700 for a boat anchor like it was originally intended to be, and install a Turbo 350. On a scale of 1 to 10, a 700R4 rates about a minus 3. The other option would be to use a 9 pound hammer to create a little more room after removing the transmission to give yourself some space to swing it effectively.
