Quite a while since I've posted. I had a trip out of town, and work has been picking up. I have received nearly all of my parts- I just need to order valve guides, and I'm ready to re-assemble to at least a short block!
I did find a valve guide driver:

I may need to get it machined down where it sits on the boss, but it is at least the right diameter.
I did not realize the cylinders were sleeved... or at least mine appear to be. Were all Packards sleeved? If not, when did they stop?
I am driving down to Utica on Saturday to pickup my exhaust manifold and fender and to meet a fellow Packard enthusiast. Looking forward to meeting someone as crazy about these cars as I am.
