I'm not sure why u are asking. Nonetheless, the slanted rod cap is primarily used in VERY UNDER square engines. I just don't see what benefit a slanted cap would have in the V8 regardless of stroke. There is cam clearence issues too.

OR to put it another way, it is really not feasible to stroke the Packard V8 (nor just about any other V8) long enuf to require a slanted rod cap.
