Does anybody know if there ever was any performance parts made for the inline 8s? Or if you have any tips on how to squeeze more power out of them?

Thanks for your answers! I think im going to use solid lifters now that i know that it will work. The straight Packard 8 IS a long engine but I dont like to be like every one else and use chevy V8s.. I like to be different so Im going stick with my Thunderbolt=)

I have a 1954, 327 Thunderbolt, 5 mainbearing, Packard engine that i?m going to use in a hotrod-project. (a -29 Pontiac 6) But i have one question: Is it possible to change the hydraulic lifters to mehcanical ones instead?
I really need to change them because most of them have parts missing and don?t seem to be in such a good shape, and new hydraulic lifters seem to cost a little more then I can afford...

Sorry for the language...=)
