Custom Auto in Santa Ana is first one to mind. Probably an excellent but perhaps expensive choice but they know Packards.

Why not get an estimate from Custom Auto and share it with us?

FWIW, I have a completely rebuilt 352" long block on the shelf right now for $2995. Shipping will probably be around $300 each way.

thnx, jack vines

Probably won't beat Jacks price. I've never dealt with him but he shows an excellent credibility and Packard V8 knowledge for rebuilding here on this forum.

How many of the Packard V8's have u overhauled and sold over the many years JACK???

I wouldn't question Jacks price or abilities either-just didn't think of him. The mention of LA and I automatically thought of someone just down the street (by LA standards). If not looking for the mechanics services to R&R as well, then shipping not a real issue.
