THe SBC is about 1/2 the weight of the Packard streight 8 so front spings mite need altering and or wheel alignment corrected.

Just out of curiosity, why does the owner want to use the SBC???? Does he not have the original engine???

BTW if u're doing an engine change to SBC might as well use the 700R4 with overdrive trans too so that he can have higher top cruising speeds.

Keep us posted on progress and decisions made realtive to trans, overdrive, rear axle ratio etc.
