Re: New Member - Need Engine

I just can't tell you how much I'd like to have a Packard marine engine but I didn't bother to mention it because I haven't been able to locate one in the last 12 months and therefore assumed that there are none to be found. Also, this is not a boating forum. Since this engine will be used in a vintage racer, my solution was/is to install an "open air" straight 8 with non-water-jacketed exhausts pointing skyward and a custom-built intake manifold. Obviously, a marine manifold would be preferable and a marine engine would be outstanding! I'd welcome any leads. At this point, I have a problem without a solution.
