Yeah, I know it.

Developed by A.C. Sampietro at Willys called the Toronado 6.
Used in Jeep Wagoneers until '69 and in the US Army M715.
Mr. Sampietro worked with Donald Healey.

Very nice up to date engine.

In my country is one up for sale. Its a
'63 Wagoneer Gladiator
(ex fire brigade car) for about 10 grand.

Have a nice day!

Dear Mr. Vines

Thank you very much for your comments!

Maybe the Chevrolet 1963 Mark II Mystery Motor and the Chrysler A-279 Ball Stud Hemi were just patent evasion?

Another patent from J.E. Witzky.

Packard 4-Valve pushrod engine.

Dear Phil53

The 1955/56 V8 is not a Hemi.
But maybe J.E. Witzky developed one for Packard.
Maybe as a later replacement!
Outstanding is, it has only one rocker shaft. The Chrysler 1st generation Hemi and the 426 Hemi have two.

J.E. Witzky's construction has only one bent rocker shaft?

It would be nice to know, if ever a prototype engine was made? Maybe somebody know more.

Have a nice day!

Dear Ozstatman

here in Switzerland are Packard cars a rarity!

Other cars are a plenty, such as Mopar, Chevy, Olds...

I'm a former Mopar man, I once had a '71 Challenger RT, Schinznach car (means locally here assembled!)

Now I am looking for a good Packard example, maybe a Clipper V8 or one with a 1932/39 V12 engine.

In the meantime I'm very interested in Packard Research & Development, secret projects and prototypes, experiments and the like!

Mr. Witzky invented, among others, the Daimler Benz Unimog!
Later he came to the United States under "Operation Paperclip" and work for the US Navy and the Departement of Defense.
Later he joined Packard, where he invented several patents.
Then he worked as a consultant and lived in Texas.
