Robert is correct a lot of blown Hemis had Packard 3 speeds behind them. PackardKid I am not sure that it was completely stock and I think he had lighten it up some but it still was a big square box. He would pull up to the line and when the flag man would point at him to be ready he would push it clear to the floor and it took about a week to wind up or so it seemed. We were racing Chevys with alum flywheels in those days which reved quick so the old packard sounded weird it reved up so slow and it scared the flag man to death cause he just knew something was going to fly apart and hit him. That old packard hurt a lot of guys feelings that had 1957 283 single four chevys, which was a fairly fast street car back then. High 16s and low 17s
