Anyone know where to get floor pans for my 1948 2202. All I can find is pans for a 2 door, and they are to short, I have called C2C, kaner, and class 4U and no one has, do I give up and make due...
I found all parts, but front and rear pans, wish I could just get the whole pan...

Thanks for any help,

Any help would be great,
I don't have the experience with 6volt positive ground, and what I'm learning, I don't want to keep it.

And I want the best of both eras, love the look of the car, and love the cool toys on today's cars, I think I can make a happy marriage of the two.

Scott, I do not total disagree with you,

This will help if anyone can tell me what I'm in for...
I'm doing a 12 volt conversion on the car, what all will not work, I know all the lights, and gauges.
My car has the r11 overdrive, and the ele. Clutch.

Going all LED lighting anyway, not sure if the overdrive gov. And sol. Will work.
The dash was updated to all 12volt retaining some of the original look...

Thank you all for the advice, I truly value it... To try and answer some of the questions..
It is a 4 door.
The motor turns, and I see nothing wrong with it, all vales go up and down all pistons go up and down. So I ave to say the motor is in great shape except it needs to be rebuilt, at over $1000.00 for all the parts to rebuild, and another $500.00 for the block work,( I called every shop with In 100 miles) and another $500.00 plus parts for a valve job.
The trans goes in all gears, I know it will need a clutch.

Now I may have miss lead you. I'm NOT making a hot rod, I'm putting a stock motor in it, with a auto trans, all of this I have, I was going to put in another car, but never did,
As for the front and rear supination I also have the parts already, none was planed for this car.

The body of this car is in awesome shape, 1 dent, and it's 100% complete.

I was just thinking out loud, that is I had the parts, and someone could use the original parts. It would be win win..

Also, it is being converted to 12 volts, so this also keeps me leaning to the swap.
I hope this helps you help me, make up my mind. I have read so many post about you guys talking sense in to guys like me...

Thanks again.... Blessings.

I have a 1948 2202 super 8, this is my first frame off restoration.
I have to say I didn't do my home work on this one, I LOVE the packards, and really wanted one, so I got one, not realizing the cost involved in the parts and all to get it back on the road.. First thought was to find a purist to take over the build, and second thought was to do a restorod, of witch I have all parts for it, meaning, I would have a Packard body on a Packard frame with another drivetrain.
The plus side to option 2, I would have a lot of really nice parts that I'm sure someone could use to make their packard complete...

It is a complete drive train, It have the red peddle clutch, and overdrive, with all cables (running in cab) in working order

With all this said, I pray I find not hate threads, but I would like to know what fare market prices are on the drive train.

I have the utmost respect for everyone I have talked to on this form.

Enclosed are some pic of drive line..
I also have a video of motor turning over.

Thanks for all. Your help, and for not hating me.. Lol

How do I tell if I have 9 or 5 mains with out dropping the pan??

The motor number is G406220
The number on top is 889719327

I have looked all over the web, even google.
I can not find Info on how to rebuild my 327 super 8.

Has anyone seen something that would help me.

I'm looking for help with dismantle and reassemble, spec such on

Thanks

Thank you all for all the most helpful info..

I know I ask a lot of questions, Some may seem stupid, But I'm just trying to learn.

So again thank you

First the last cylinder did have moisture on it, although that cylinder had strong compression.

Fallowing another post, I poured ATF on all the pistons, ( head off), I came back the next day and all still had ATF on them, Except the first one, telling me the rings are stuck or broke, Right??
I have prices all the machine shop work needed, and its over 70% more then I was expecting.. Sticker shock.

So what to do??
I want the stock motor, but this being my first frame off I'm starting to think I'm in over my head..
I'm doing this with my teen boys, wanting them to learn..

here is what I an working onhttp://1949packardsuper8.blogspot.com
