Interesting topic which brings up a question I've often wondered about. Are there any documented high mileage Packards with S8's or V8's. (High mileage without a major engine overhaul - valve job not being considered major). Also are there any high mileage cars out there where engines have been rebuilt one or more times. Another question this brings up is diesel engines. Are they hard or soft. Seems many diesels are known for high mileage (Mercedes and Cummins to name two).
