Its strange.Why would you want to put a Straight 8 in a 56 Packard when you can take your pick of any straight 8 from 1924 to 1954.I see people on this Web sight (and I will not mention Eric's name) that hate BTV, Drum brakes,Twin Ultramatic, Packard V8 oil pump and they drive a V8 Packard.If they hate them so much,why not buy a 57 DeSoto Fireflite with a hemi that already has Torqflite and a good oil pump and PB system?
