Then depending upon the view you have, the 700r4 is not a strike against you. The TH400 or 4l80e WOULD be imho. WHile those tranny's are stronger per say, they have a 2.48 first gear vs the 700r4 having a 3.10 first gear. Your rig has an overall low lower than a 4.56 geared rig with a th400/4l80e! so much better gearing to get going. Along with if you got a really good rebuild done. the 700r4 will out perform a stock th400/4l80e.
The real issue is the 120-130hp your motor has! If you can rebuild it, to a 6.5 with a turbo, you can get into the low 200hp range, the trans will handle it if rebuilt properly, and you will have no issues with a 6-7K trailer!
