I have put a LS1/700R4 combo in several rigs. I would do a manual valvebody so you don't have to fool with the kickdown linkage, and I would upgrade some of the trans internals if you are going to wheel it hard

I think you will be very happy with it BUT for conversation sake why not toss in a 4L65E instead? In stock trim they are more than enough to do what you need and the standalone controllers are getting more and more reasonable by the day. You can adjust shift points, firmness and lock up to suit your liking.
