There is nothing in print that even comes within miles of the outstanding Dale Adams Restoration Notebook series of publications on rebuilding the Packard V12. I'd say it's essential reading for anyone even remotely thinking about taking a Packard 12 engine on as a project. And even if you're not, it's fascinating series of articles. His work on manufacturing rod bearings from scratch is laudable as well as essential if you're rebuilding one of these. Charlie Last (now deceased) was another Packard Twelve expert, as is Steve Babinsky who has an outstanding reputation with such engines. And plenty of other good stuff on the Dale Adams site. I guess many of us know the 34 Packard Dietrich (Pebble best of show winner) is in the Cassini collection in New Jersey.http://www.daleadamsenterprises.com/packard1.pdf
