Will a 700R4 withstand BBC 500+ lb-ft of Torque?

Hey all, I will be inheriting a 1971 Camaro Z-28 with no tranny or engine in it.

I'm going to build a 496 BBC stroker for it and I wanted to use a 700R4 transmission because I like them a lot.

I know the main thing with big blocks is to bolt them to a TH-400 tranny, but I want a 700R4.

The car has a 3.73 rear end with (haven't confirmed yet) positraction.

Is this plausible? or will the 700R4 just crumple under the massive amount of torque my 496 will be putting out.
