Flathead Dodge and Plymouth lifters can be used in the 288/327 engines and are readily available. The diameter of the mushroom must be ground down considerably to not hit the casting webs in a Packard. Ends up being easier to find a set of real Packard solids.

I've used a couple of sets of the new Kanter hydraulic lifters with perfect success and know of two other sets in happy usage. And here I was under the impression that Packard was a production line automobile like all the rest. Was not aware they had been deified.
