Perhaps at a later date (very later, because its expensive), I will do a motor-swap to something I can get a little more power out of.


You'd be surprised on the amount of power you can get out of a straight eight, but just don't expect miracles. A 350+ hp straight eight is cooler than ANY 1000+ hp V8 any day of the week in my book. Stick around, and follow me on my "9 Main Saga" thread in the Project Blogs. In about two months, I'm going to be tearing into that 327. Right now, I'm busy gathering the required parts to make my project go smoothly. So far, so good!

And, BTW, if anyone gets on your case about modifying a Packard, flip them the bird and tell 'em I sent ya!



i wouldn't do a motor swap if i could get 350+ hp outta the motor i have. If making my 327 straight eight THAT powerful costs =/> the price of a new motor.. well.. i'll do the swap.
