My 1940 110 used to spin the tires and that's without the overdrive rear end. With it, it would have had even more oomph.

PTV - I will be sure and post my findings and impressions as soon as I have had time to put a few miles on the odometer. I agree with you that at around a hundred horse, it is certainly not going to be a powerhouse, but I'm not really looking for that either - more just a functional driver that can do 50ish on the highway and not power out going up a hill in 2nd. Hopefully with the fresh, new tolerances that one would expect with a rebuild, the car should be close to what it performed like when new, and I'm sure a '39 Packard was a pretty agile and capable car when it rolled off the assembly line.
