My local corvette shop is trying to get me to replace my leaking TH350 with the 700. My 80 will require the drive shaft to be shorten, and they will need to modify my shift plate console if I want the overdrive installed. Price is about $1100.

Sounds pretty cheap, are they giving you a used 700R4? If that's with a rebuilt trans, go for it before he changes his mind.
