Gearrat, If you can get a spare engine, do so. I have one for our 29. Every few months I pour oil into the cylinders and every few months I make noises about selling it, and every day I think about getting it running (which I am looking into now). I may even have enough spare parts to put a whole car together if I could find a frame and cowl Think of a spare running engine as an insurance policy: as long as you have it, you'll never need it. An hour after you sell it you will spit a rod out of the side of your only engine.

Al, I am not sure my engine stand will be up to the task of a Packard 8. Can you send a picture of yours?, if you sell your spare, could I purchase the stand from you?
