Re: 39 trans onto 327

ALL Packard overdrive transmissions were column shifted. People have adapted the earlier stick tops to them, but it requires torch heating the earlier shifter mechanism, always a risk there.
There is quite a bit of chatter comparing the differences in the R6, R9 and R11 units on this site - do a search - with the net conclusion by most that the R11 really is the best unit, especially for the higher horsepower that the 327 is rated at....stronger O/D gears in the R11.
