I'm dropping the TH700 out of my 90 parts car behind my 454 3/4 ton as soon as possible. I took a freshly rebuilt trans and added a B&M shift kit and traveller torque converter, along with a +3qt pan and Hayden transmission cooler. Many happy miles of towing my boat in overdrive and not a problem. The trick to the TH700 is keeping it cool, and keeping the tv cable adjusted. The overdrive will make a big difference I the rpms you see on the highway. May not net you much gas mileage, but it'll make your engine last a lot longer.
