Re: Chevy into Packard

Maybe I'm being naive, but I don't know why a well sorted '37 wouldn't be able to travel the continent successfully. Obviously, the owner's expectations would have to coincide with the realities of auto travel in 1937 but I don't know why it couldn't be accomplished. To me it'd be thrill of a lifetime.

However, I'm not a fan of the engine swap idea. If the owner wants to pilot a Packard across America, then keep it all Packard. If he wants a SBC under the hood, why not just buy a Chevrolet to see the USA?
