Re: Packard Engine to GM Auto Transmission Adapters

'49-'50 the engine was mounted single point in the front and torque reaction was by two mounts on the trans. '51-'54 torque reaction was taken by two mounts on the engine and there was one mount on the back of the trans. You can't have it both ways or there is nothing to restrain the torque reaction.

That will make it tough to mount a modern trans as they are all one point mount at the rear.

At the end of the day it will be vastly simpler to find the pieces to do the car as a stick with overdrive in the original configuration.
