Your selector won't match. You could also change steering columns to an older one or just go to a floor shift. I'm not sure but I think the 700 is a little longer. You may also need the front half of the '82's drive shaft. If you're going to make the change, try to find a good 400. I have an '81 with 454 & TH400 that towed my stock car & a lot of tons of scrap for 7 years & it's still running good. There's no body left but mechanically it's in good shape.
