to mate the 700 to the ls there is a spacer plate other then that its a 700 stall in there and that bolts right to the ls1 flywheel

There are a few reasons why not. And I can tell you that I would never run this set up in the future as well as I am looking for a t56 to swap out asap

Few good reasons not to use the 700
The exhausts clearance I am having now
The ls can not control lock up so you would need to add an aftermarket one
You have to mod the TB for the TV cable
No one make the spacer you will need
Ls computer has alot of control over the 4l60 that you will never have with a 700

Only advantage is

Like mine I bet you have a lot of money into the 700 and is well built
