If the Packard transmissions were that good, might explain this weird adapter plate I picked up Packard trans to an FE ford, wondered why that thing existed. I will keep an eye out for a Packard manual, an OD would be nice with that slow revving engine an OD could potentially be an acceleration gear instead of a fuel economy gear. I have a pile of Mustang T5s but I dont think they would hold up in such a heavy car with a pretty decent torque number. Unless I am mistaken a Packard V8 like from 1955 is the same as a later Stude as way as heads intakes ect the bolt on stuff but I'm not sure about the transmissions, I think they took the best of what each company had when they merged and went with it. I love the story Bill, I wish people were that creative these days. It might be a long shot these days but I would love to give some V8 guys a run for their money with mine. Think I'm going to need to invest in a hole saw lol.
