Geewhiz:

In Texas heat how about an oversized radiator core as well?

I would consider adding one of those external trans filter kits given the Ultramatic doesn't have one.

The Packard cooler seems more of a transmission temperature stabilizer than an actual cooler. Of course, to see what it actually does would require a test using bypass and temperature sensors.

Now for something a little more obscure: I would add a good ground strap to the transmission and rear axle. Believe it or not, electrostatic discharge was a cause of bearing wear in RWD cars.
