Re: Did Chevy consider Packard V8 BB Design?

The Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles in 1949, Studebaker in '51 and Packard in '55, were all Kettering wedge head, siamesed center exhaust, air gap intake, shaft rocker arm designs.

The '51-55 V8s from Chrysler, DeSoto and Dodge were all hemi combustion chambers.

The '55 Chevrolet and Pontiac were second generation, with stud mounted stamped rockers.

The '53-65 Buick was the bastard child, with pent-roof reversed rockers.

thnx, jack vines.
