In the 1960's I bought a 1940 Ford coupe with a 331 Hemi with a log manifold for 6 Stromberg 97's, a Lincoln differential and a PACKARD transmission for $300. Packard trans were known for being tough. My brother had a 1948 Ford and I bet he changed the trans every month. The old Plymouths and Dodges had a tough trans also but the Packards were the best. Sure wish I still owned that car or even still had the transmission. That old car would fly or at least I thought it did at the time. It seems that the older I get the faster I was!
