Good to remind people of that option. Thanks for posting the link. Here are some pictures of the adapter and trans on a V8 for anyone who missed them and might be interested. S-8 adapters are a bit different and don't recall seeing any photos of an actual finished job yet. I believe at least one S-8 conversion has been done or attempted. https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=95724#forumpost95724

What is an S-8 and why would it be a desirable conversion?????

The S-8 or straight 8 51-4 conversion adapter. Somewhat different approach in that they have a flat plate completely replacing the Packard bellhousing. With that going away, they also changed the starter to a small GM version which mounts on their new plate. One unanswered question would be whether the starter is or could be converted to 6v. If not, expect that would cut down on interested buyers. Unlike the V8, they must not have had a complete car to work with in developing that adapter. There is no mention of new crossmember and linkage being available. http://www.transmissionadapters.com/Packard%20to%20Chev%20adapter%20kit.htm
