Whipper,

Here's an old thread of Jacks about a 440ci Packard engine. Unfortunately a lot of the pic's seem to be lost in cyberspace, although HH56 was able to resurrect some.

I remember some guy here put a turbo on his V8 here and disappeared. Did he share any secrets?

Cant the Packard block line honed out to change the thrust bearing from rear to middle to accept the CAD Crank?

There are many reasons the Cadillac crank won't fit in the Packard block. Here are a few more:
1.You don't quite understand how line honing works. It only removes a few thousanths to get the main bores round and true.
2. Line boring is how holes are made much larger, but no, there is not enough stock in the Packard 2.5" main webs to line bore to the Cadillac 3.25" main diameter.
3. No, the Cadillac crank would be too weak if ground down to the Packard 2.5" main diameter.
4. No, the thrust bearing is the wide one which takes fore/aft thrust. There's not enough material in the Packard #3 main to mate with the Cadillac #3 thrust bearing. The Cadillac #5 bearing is not wide enough to accept the Packard #5 main cap.

And yes, the Packard V8 entered in the EMC was basically my engine with a tunnel ram added.

Just a random notion I have wondered about for a long time.

Has anyone replaced a Packard camshaft with one made by Clay Smith or Edelbrock?

You can make a lot of really neat things from the parts left over after you rebuild your engine ...

It's possible back in the day Clay Smith might have reground a Packard cam; they were selling cams during that time.

But why ask about Edelbrock? They don't grind any cams, much less Packard cams. Any cam with Edelbrock's name on it is made by Camshaft Machine Co; the largest cam grinder in the US. They make OEM cams, too. You can get the same grind in an Edelbrock box, a Wolverine Blue Racer box or a Summit box.

Iskenderian offered more cam choices for the Packard than any other company. I've used several of their solid lifter racing cams.

Since Isky never did a hydraulic cam for the Packard V8, we've developed some of our own.
