There are some photos of Scott's (poster "smith") Bendtsen installation. A couple show portions of the linkage so perhaps you can see enough to get some ideas.https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=95724#forumpost95724 From what I can see they welded a bracket to the frame for one side support and made a bellcrank like link out of round rod and flat steel to adapt the GM trans connection to a lever attached to a modified or maybe shortened Packard side rod.

Not sure how similar the 4L60E transmission might be but IIRC, on KevinAZ's conversion there was also a photo showing a bit of linkage.
