i have a dead spot at off idle everytime i push on gas pedal.
Not necessarily related to internal engine condition, that could simply be a poorly functioning accelerator pump on the carburetor, and/or a leaking distributor vacuum advance unit.

If turning the crank, make sure it's bored straight with the block, or you engine will wear out the bearings in a matter of 5,000 miles.

If the crankshaft needs turning, you'll need to find a shop that can deal with removing and then reinstalling the counterweights. Expect an extra charge above and beyond turning and balancing the crank of about $600 for the counterweight work.

Have just gone through this, Maurice, starting here:
https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=5878&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=590 through the current posts. Not everything is relevant (like work on the driver's door), but most of the rest is. At least you'll be aware of the problems we faced, the advice we received, and how we solved them thus far. Such things as checking with the machine shop that their equipment can handle the width of a 356 manifold. Sometimes 3 steps forward, 2 steps back, but we are progressing.
