TomB (or anyone):
If u can obtain an OLD JC Whitney cataloug from say the 1960's then take a look in it to see what kind of adapter plates were offered for Packard to alternate transmission conversions back then. Most likely look at the GM to Packard conversions since GM was very slow to change designs over many years.

Might be that some late 70's or 1980's ford,GM or MoPar 4 speed over drive transmission will fit to the packard bellhousing wwith somekind of adapter plate that could be modified slightly.

Just a good research topic to try different possibilities.
