I have seen people use dodge 6 cly lifters (mechanical) in Hudson 6's and there available reproduction as are the Hudson lifters which are also mechanical. I dont know if they will work on a Packard or not but it may be worth looking into. The thing you may need to look out for though is the durability of the parts (modern) mechanical cams are a lot harder than a comparable hydrolic cam I don't know if this was the case in the early days but it may be of some concern.
