Maurice; I found my 356 bearing. I have a set of eight rod bearing, however they are .001 under and a set of nine main bearings that are standard. Please let me know if you are interested and I will think about price. Also have a full gasket set, never unwrapped it.

Maurice; I am on vacation till the 17th. I am almost sure I have a set for a custom I sold. But must look. I will much cheaper then the brothers.

JS; This is a very long shot, years ago I replaced a block in one of my 48 Packards with a marine application block. The block had a plug to prevent oil from going from the pump to the engine as it must have gone to an external cooler. Lots of gray hair arrived before I found the plug.

Hi Ray; I have a a nice unit that can be used to replace yours or for parts. $60 plus shipping. I will be gone from 7-3 to 7-17, Hope I can help with your problem. Dell

Your location? You will need the overdrive lock out cable (41 and 42 are different then later cars and are "expensive"),Bracket that holds overdrive cable to crossmember, Lower part of bell-housing for fifth bolt, rear single rubber mount for back of transmission (Steel Rubber rebuilds them with exchange of core, thrust shaft from stud on bottom of transmission to rear crossmember, regulator (looks like voltage regulator with six terminals), kick down switch and wire loom (Y an Z makes them). Also might need a rear cross member, I will have to look at my 42 to make sure. The drive shaft need to be shorten or the correct one found. I am sure that I have forgotten something. You will be amazed at the difference it will make in how the 41 moves down the road. Last point is it might be a good time to service the clutch.

Yes Maurice it will come out, you will need to support the back of the engine and remove the cross member, governor, solenoid and all cables and linkage. also don't forget the small spring that holds the throw out bearing to the transmission.
It is a tight fit on the shorter wheel base cars that I have done, you might have more room on the limo. If it has not been done in a long time you might think about servicing the throw out bearing and clutch. Good luck

Maurice; It is time for the transmission to be removed and rebuilt with new bearings. Any shortcuts that might might lead to other parts of the ring in the transmission would be unwise and lead to a disaster.

I have several extra cables if you are unable to repair yours. They are all used and will need TLC. Dell

No gasket used manifold to manifold. I have several sets of NOS steel manifold to block if you need them at $45 plus shipping. Dell

I have heard the square jack is for the seniors, I would use it as it appears stronger. I believe the jack pictured in whats left of the correct jack box for 48 is for 55 or 56.
