I would say "yes"...
But here's what I would do: Keep adding ATF,, 8-9 qts ,, until it runs out the vent..Don't even give it time to fill the converter...Then, after it settles for a while, fire it up and immediately add the remaining 3-4 qts.
Put it in manual low, wait a few seconds, then run it through the gears , light throttle, then try reverse, gently.
You will probably have to drag the brakes to feel the 1-2 shift with it up in the air. Don't be concerned until you drive it with the rpms up a bit.
Good luck
