Re: 6 cyl in a 55...another wacky idea?

We Packard people being so passionate about the life and demise of the Company, this thread has, as often happens, wildly diverged from the original reason for posting it: the practical question of the logistics of putting a 6 cyl in a 1955. So, back to that, it appears that it will fit in lengthwise. Can anyone address the motor mount issue? And are the 6 cylinder bellhousing and linkages of the std trans likely to be compatible with the pedal assy of a manual trans 55 Clipper?
