There was some discussion of this adapter a few months ago when it came out and believe another poster with a 53 was also considering or is in the process of doing the conversion. Can't remember who it was right now.

Several Chrysler Torqueflite conversions as well as a few various model Hydramatics have been done. There was a shop (no longer doing it) that modified the case of the R4 to fit directly on the Packard bellhousing. Believe this one with the adapter is new enough that not many are aware of or have tried it.
