Not worth the $ it would take to do it. If you go overdrive go with a 200-4R or if you plan on really flying,want an overdrive, and have some extra $, spring for a 4L80E. The 700-R4 and its later brothers 4L60, 4L60E dont belong behind engines capable of pushing a car into the 10's. Some get them to work but they are not ideal imo. Plan on spending at least $2800 for a built 200 and a really good torque converter. The servo is the least of the problems.
 
Just about anything can be made to work with enough work and money. Question is why would you want to?

200 4R has been proven and is already there. The first to second gearing is a better spread, you don't have to get an adapter to mount it to the engine, cut the drive shaft or modify or relocate the cross member. If you need more reliability a 400 or 4L80E if you want an OD and have the coin to spend.
