As 64Avanti is right on target, such an engine at that time would have been one of worst decisions any US car company could have made. Regardless of OHC or not the straight 8 era was dead, V8 was what folks wanted, and any money Packard would have thrown at an OHC in-line 8 would have simply speeded their demise.
