one thing about the chevy engine swap is if you are in elksnot and have engine trouble good luck finding that packard part in the auto parts store but the chevy part will be there. It could save a week waiting for mail order parts to arrive, i always am ready to rent a truck and dolly if i am out there but it would be nice to walk in and say knibbling pin and some turn signal fluid for a sm block chev and walk back out the same time parts in hand,true the resale will take a hit but he should know that going in


If you want a Chevy why not buy a Chevy? Why mess up a Packard? And what about brakes, steering, transmission, rear axle etc? Are you going to gut that Packard like a trout and replace everything?

There are a lot of guys who post here, who use their Packards regularly. It would be interesting to know how many have been stranded on the road, and how often it was because of major engine failure.
