It is not full flow. The real question is does it need to be full flow or is it worthwhile converting to full flow.

Packard engines such as yours weak points are not the bearings, if the oil is changed regularly they can go 100,000 miles on the original bearings. In my opinion there is little if any benefit especially with the vast improvements in oils in the past 60+ years.

Valve and valve seat life is a problem, also the block cracking from cylinder to valve seat.
