If it has the original 282 straight eight in it, it should produce around 120 HP. I don't have a 282 so I'll let somebody else comment on reliability, ease of rebuild, etc. The vast majority of the Packard owners on this forum have not replaced the engine of their cars with an 'aftermarket updated engine'.
