800/100 are the mins and they are pretty strict about it. You are going to have to do a lot of flying if you think it will take you only a "few months". As far as upgrade, with your low time you are looking at 3-4 years. 2500 is the upgrade time. High wash out rate for the low timers. I think the lowest in my class for the 170/175 was 1500 hours. Keep instructing, it builds confidence. Great place to work though when you build some more time.
