With the weight and size of a packard, it's ride and driving fun would be MUCH better suited with something big and torquey, like a caddy or pontiac V8 (or even a diesel!) rather than a higher reving small block. Then maybe some 3.42 gears and, as mentioned, an overdrive trans.

If i was going to do it, i'd do it right. Guy with a gorgeous green packard every year with i believe a caddy 500 motor in it down in columbus OH for the good guy meet. I'm not about cutting up packards, but whoever did his car did an AMAZING job.
