And I have found engine conversion plates for mounting the engine do they really work?

You'd need the full o.e. computer for the efi and tranny to work the easiest...its far easier than a stand alone TCM and another engine controller (ms or similar).
If your doing carb and considering going efi; I would suggest getting the o.e. computer and having it set up for what you want. It would be easier in the long run to just re-tune the computer and swap the harness down the road if you wanted to switch it up.
The 700r4 is mechanically related the 4l60e, though the methods by which it is controlled are much different. The later model 4l60e's also have internal improvements that the 700 never got. I'd pass on any 700 given the choice.
The motor mount plates are adapters, as they don't modify the physial mount or its function...they simply change the bolt pattern, kidna like a wheel spacer/adapter. I'm not sure how they could "not work", as its just a piece of metal. Certain year trucks or certain combo's of equipment have better luck with the POL or dirty dingo mounts, as they can move the engine a bit more for those with 4x4's and other combo's.
