Re: Resurrecting a 1951 Henney-Packard Parts Car

Maybe a solution to my transmission conundrum is to use the transmission portion of the new one, paired with the overdrive of the old one (which is indeed R11). I have no idea if they use the same spline (or whatever connects them together) and in this case the parts book doesn’t help much because the Henneys had specially harden components so of course they have different part numbers even if they are otherwise identical. It is not absolutely clear to me what year the old transmission came from but it is clearly 1948-1950 as it has the drilled and tapped side mounting holes that 1951-1954 did not have. Although I would prefer a proper senior Henney transmission, at this point I really don’t care as long as it works to move the car around under its own power!

Does anyone have any thoughts on the possibility of combining the two?
