359 Eight Modification in Packard Hot Rod

Posted by Stan Palma On 2023/10/23 12:14:47

It's been several years since my last post, and many changes have been made to the Packard. I sold the car I was originally basing the PHR around, and bought a 359 eight engine to rebuild. After finding that block to have a number of cracks, bought another short block and forged on. The 359 was overbored, all new innards except crank & rods, has an original aluminum head. VS blower with two carb manifold (made from 2 AMC/Jeep 258 six cylinder manifolds), WW Strombergs in 1957 Stude air boxes. Car itself features a 1935 hood, 1936 cowl, custom frame, custom suspension. I'll try to include a photo. Need a glove box door with trim (already have the clock) for a 1939 Junior, the flashy design chrome ribs. Would appreciate any leads, thanks, Stan P.
