do a packard trans with the borg warner r11 (4 pinion planet gear) over drive. With all the gear choices great advantage can be taken of all that torque. The 49-54 packard trans before the t85 was a tough tranny. They strarted using them in the mid fifties when cad lasalles got scarce. They ended up in a lot of 55 Chevys an so forth. I have another 302 gmc project after I get the fire truck going. It's a 39 Chevy chopped fender less bobber truck. Got a packard trans to Chevy bell housing adapter goin to a Dana 44 rear. 50 packard trans with R11 OD and 38 trans top floor shifter.
Point is the early packard trans were known to be stout. I'm thinking theBW OD will be all kinds of fun to play with
