I would honestly think, with the amount of power most packards are putting out, and the way most are driven, that any stock gm tranny would hold up superbly. I would prefer a 7004r or a 200-4r as to avoid doing anything with electronics, and control lockup with a vaccuum switch and brake switch disconnect.
Too bad the 4L60 (no
Electronic computer control) did not have a bolt-on bellhousing, as it was not until 1996 that the 4L60E was introduced that the bolt-on bellhousing was also introduced. The bolt-on bellhousing is the whole point of KevinAZ's conversion. Without it, the case has to be machined making it a very different animal.
Thankfully, the TCI (and probably other vendors) electronics kits are straight forward and should pose no more problem than the hybrid driveshaft and modified shift linkage. Just more $.
