In August 2008 I drove a nice 1956 400 that had been converted to manual shift with overdrive. Do not recall any problems of interference with the clutch and power brake pedals. I do recall that it would move. The car was in a small town in the Central Valley of California. I forget the name. The owner was needing to sell it because of a pending layoff. He was a pilot for UPS. Nice guy facing some difficult times. I often wonder what happened to he and his family and that Packard.

looks like when the std trans was put in, they put in a 56 exc. engine,,,,,\
first 4 numbers on block,,,5642,,,,,,should say 5682.

Same CID as the Exec but the 5642 came from a Clipper Super. Exec would be a 5672 or 5677. Clipper Super had a 2 barrel instead of the Exec 4 barrel.
