I would sell you this 288 and tranny for $600 plus shipping.

Thank you both for that clarification.

So maybe I won’t buy the whole thing now. Anyone want a 288 and ultramatic with rear axle too? He’s not budging from $300. It’s in Culver, OR, on Facebook marketplace

You both seem smart, please would you go over to the “modifications” forum and take a look at the posting I made for what I’m trying to do with this whole thing, putting a 23 series ultramatic into a 22 series frame and body setup for a manual.

I would really appreciate any wise thoughts on the subject. It’s basically the ultramatic mounts are further back and that is going to change the brake pedal pivot place.

Thanks again

No it’s probably not called that, but is that Essentially what it is?

This morning I drove two or three hours over Mount Hood to a mobile home park in Central Oregon and looked at a engine and ultra Matic transmission a 288 out of a 1951 four-door packard and I saw something on it that I didn’t recognize the ultramatic from my transmission. The back of mines looks different and I think what this is is a overdrive adapter yes?

He only wants 500 for the whole engine transmission and rear axle. I’m thinking just for some of the parts I might need to buy it but will I be able to take that adapter if it is a overdrive that I want and put it on my other ultra Mattick because what he told me is that it shifts hard second gear seems like it’s Jeff’s hard to him and I guess I trust the one I got, even though I haven’t driven it yet more than his, so I would ideally think of moving that adapter onto my ultra Matic and changing the driveshaft. Another question is which axle do I use then the one from the packard without the overdrive which has a lot of master cylinder wheel cylinder brake line work already done to it or do I go with the one from the 1951 packard which the over drive is connected with.

First pictures are of the engine. I just saw this morning and the last picture is of mild traumatic back at home, as well as my tranny cooler, which looks different than the one on this 288.

Anyways, I think it’s probably a good deal for everything, I even saw he’s got one of this arched tranny mounts which somebody on here modified to make his 700r4 work.

Thanks
Blake

Can I get one of those adapters?

Thanks again for all the great advice, I will stick with the 2bbl 327 intake.

Now I need all of your’s great knowledge and expertise over on the Modifications page with my post about putting a 23 series ultramatic into a 22 series 2dr sedan that was setup to be a manual.

I have all most the parts and I’m ready to rock this. I don’t want to have to go to a modern transmission… yet 🤣

Okay guys, here’s a big time question/first of many posts about this rebuild mod of a 1950 327 with ultramatic into a 22 series 2dr which is setup to be a manual transmission.

I know that the transmission mounts are different, and I am also bringing the rear axle from the 23 series over, and probably the shaft has to be modified, but can I be easily done for the garage mechanic like me? (Side note, I was out in touch with Ross Miller via a Facebook group and he’s the one who told me I would need the tranny mounts and rear axle to make it work, and I’m grateful he even returned me call, but he mentioned making a list here, and asking for help)

The front:
So in the first two pictures I’m including here, this is the existing setup in the 22 series and realized that it’s much shorter, like by 7-8” shorter, and so what will that do to the brake pedal mounts in the front of the transmission mount is much farther back???

The rear Axle:
Short backstory.
So I’m in Portland. In 2014 I bought the 1950 custom 8 from a guy in southern Oregon (the car originally from Salt Lake). I have the seats hardened and the block checked out but then I have to move back to Minnesota where I thought life would continue for many years, so I tow the packard behind to Minnesota, where it sits for years and years. Finally, I meet a guy who has a crazy idea to take the body of the car and slap it on a 4x4 frame and give it a Cummins. (That’s still in progress) But then the question remains of what to do with the engine I put money into already and I really think I can install this 327 eventually. Well life moves on and I’m happily living back in Portland now, so I found a 2dr 22 series without an engine out here, and hauled the engine and granny BACK out west to install it, right? Right!

Wrong! I needed the mounts and and rear axle, so I flew back this last week to Minnesota and took off the leaf springs and axle, built a pallet for it and it’s being shipped out here asap. Here’s the rub: I just got under the 22 series 2dr here and noticed that theres a stabilizer bar attached to the axle that the other axle didn’t have, plus the rear from the 23 has this long, cross-axle bar. The shocks look kinda the same if I am remembering correctly but they probably have different mounting spots. Ugh, what have I gotten myself into here??

The last pics are of the rear under the 22 series. I don’t think have any pics of the 23 series axle, but it’ll be here soon.

And someone may be able to convince me to switch out the first gen auto with a 700r4, but not without a fight 🤣

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Blake

It pays to post on here, thanks.

So I guess it’s time to get this baby in there as is!

Aye thanks for the pertinent information, yeah I should just stick with my carter 2bbl then

I’m in Portland, Oregon. My 327 is already rebuilt, I just wanted to put a 4bbl instead of the stock 2

Hey y’all!
This is my first post on packard forms and I am restoring a 327 straight eight with the ultramatic and I am thinking of switching out the 2bbl intake for a 4bbl one.
Anybody have one for sale?
