700 durability behind a 383

Im planning on building a 383 and am also looking at putting in a 6 speed but later on. that is depending on if anyone can tell me about how long a 700 would last behind a 383 I just rebuilt it about 2 years ago using a TCI kit and doing all the mods that TCI does other than the valve body mods in which I had already installed a BNM shift kit in it. any ideas or I may just wait and put the 6 speed in first and hold off on the 383 bit but just looking for input.
thanks

Found a guy who can build me a ford 9" (yep sorry guys) for less than 500 then comes all the goodies such as disk brakes so on and so on, will it ever end?? I hope not!!

A quick search will give you an idea of the prevailing opinion of your setup. Might as well run it till it drops!
