True, but you could still get the old Hudson L-6 308 in 55 and 56, and it was a wonderful engine. Yes, and Nash used their own engines as well. The only Packard engine that AMC ever used was the Packard V8 in 320 cid in '55, and the Clipper 352 until May, '56.

Assuming this is a serious question, I believe "195?" means "195x" where "x" is 0 thru 6 or 1950-1956.

Mtpackard51: You are certainly forgiven about the typo's you might make. Craig in the past has certainly pointed out some of the mistakes I have made in spelling when I have posted.
Glad to see you are here and being part of the group. John F. Shireman

As a owner of Packard, Hudson, Kaiser, and Chrysler products, I can say with certainty that there's little to no parts interchangeability exists between them. The parts that do are things like distributor caps, rotors, points, etc, depending on model. Hudson and Kaiser used Hydramatic transmissions, and that's about the extent of transmission interchange, save for certain overdrive parts.

I have been working on a 700r4 tranny for a straight 8 Packard. I was interested in the one at this web site (http://www.mikestransmissions.com/Classics/UltraOD.html). But, as you can see they are not offering it an longer (it seems the gentleman that was welding and machineing the cases can no longer do them). Attached are pictures of the results of my first attempt. The arbor and insert plates are to assure that the flange is centered and square to the input shaft of the transmission. Unfortunitly,It'll be awhile before the unit is tested. let me know your thoughts.

That looks like a REALLY GOOD start! You've got the alignment tool and the major bits. Keep going!
And keep us informed. It looks like a really good project. Craig
