(snip)And who can dig up something groundbreaking on the '55 Packard? Other than it's short-lived title as the biggest and baddest?
For those who rebuild PV-8s like Jack Vines, myself and others, there is nothing special about the BIG BLOCK other than its 5in bore center.
If it had some "fixes", then the Packard V-8 would have been a killer engine. As was, it was just as Packard intended, i.e., a nice running engine to drag a 4500-5000lb car up and down the roads of the day.
Nothing wrong with that.
