What is an S-8 and why would it be a desirable conversion?????
The S-8 or straight 8 51-4 conversion adapter. Somewhat different approach in that they have a flat plate completely replacing the Packard bellhousing. With that going away, they also changed the starter to a small GM version which mounts on their new plate. One unanswered question would be whether the starter is or could be converted to 6v. If not, expect that would cut down on interested buyers.
Unlike the V8, they must not have had a complete car to work with in developing that adapter. There is no mention of new crossmember and linkage being available.
