Steve, I don't know that I understood you correctly but a 727 Chrysler trans will bolt to a Packard L8?

sierra grove packards is now out of buisness but other people make conversion plates ,i usedthe sierra grove plate to go straight to a chrysler 518 as many swap 727's to 518's to tget the over drive .theres two solenoids that you have on the 518
a lock out for the torque converter and an overdrive solenoid ,theyre 12 volt neg ground so theres a decision to make about 6v ,being a fool i keep the 6v and found a coversion module to allow 12 v neg ground solinoids to be used, so the low draw solenoids ll be fine ,I have an isolator switch and use a 6 v heavy forklift battery ive had to relieve the floor pan hump over the transmission as the bell housing ended up being to o tall ,and had to channel out the massive packard x brace ,have to shorten the shaft 3 1/2 inches soonill have a overdrive automatic 52 packard to drive forever !
