Howdy there,

I was considering doing an engine swap with my car a few years ago but with Ford drivetrain. I was convinced by the guys here on this forum to give the straight 8 a chance, and I am very glad I did. It is a pretty solid engine that required very little work to get running.

As others have suggested; take the head off and check to make sure the valves are moving their full motion, freely. I see very little reason why that engine shouldn't fire up for you.

Here is the thread I posted a few years ago:packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb ... flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=0

Good Luck!
