My friend built this car. The week before he sold he stopped by n we rolled around Mpls/STP area for a bit n I saw a 147 on the speedo northbound across the mighty Missisip in STP MN on the 35E that evening. Impressive. We also drove one Sunday morn to a raceway by his place n it did a 10.98, more or less right off the trailer but in that case it was right off the street. They told us to go home that day as it was way too fast for not being tech'd n stickered. It looks to still sport the homemade Eddy's headers. Nice. One nifty auto. A vote to loose that current front end body piece. That's my story n I'm stickin to it as I'm just sayin. Be Well in Oregon.

this isn’t technically correct . a lot of 06As have 20mm pins

Was watching a video of a guy that had made an exoskeleton car, he used a stock Audi A4 trans and was pushing about 800hp from a turbo LS, and had done so for years. It was very light on details, so I can't tell which one it was, here is the video: th-cam.com/video/OJys1MQcsOs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=n268LuwlZNO-fT_Y

Almost at 10k now, glad to see it🎉🫨

Thanks in advance

Hi good day sir I own a vw mk5 2.0 bhy (2.0 8v crossflow) you think my engine can handle boost with stock internals, if not with 1.9 tdi pistons and rods work in my block and will my stock head bolt be able to handle boost looking for 1bar high boost in that range and something round about 0.4 low boost

Cool video cheap chooses they would work need a lot of modding that sensor is not treaded but u can convert it to a there by destroying an old sensor and using the probe in the housing with a bit of thermal paste and some glue to in case everything some epoxy resin if possible or something similar but water to air is actually cheaper or maybe not but simpler and not so many bends and pipes makes the engine bay look cleaner also it doesn’t heat soak

Just looked up those same tuners, all have gone up about $600

Great information. My head is spinning but great information. Very helpful!!

These were such beautiful cars.

The lockup function of Ultramatic was coolly unique as was the electronic selector in senior trims in ‘56. The transmission though let it down on acceleration. I had a couple of older I-8 327 cid and the one with manual plus overdrive was quite quick.

Really great video. Touching all the bases and straight to the point. Subbed!

Thoroughly enjoyed your review. Never really knew much about the Clipper Line of Packard.

Great information. I have an 84 NA 944 that ran out of fuel and now won't start with fuel added. Fuel to fuel rail when cranking, DME relay replaced, coil replaced. Spark at plugs. Starter fluid still wont fire. Power to injectors but haven't tapped them. Timing belt checked. Sensors checked. No tacho bounce though. Good cranking speed. Will continue with your tips. I just thought with spark and starter fluid, she should have fired....

Audi 01E code DQS or FRF were used with a 2.5TDI engine, a very strong six speed box that was geared for a low revving high torque engine that when mounted to a large V8 as with my Coyote engine allows the car to be driven easily around town and do 200 mph. Some still available in Europe for around 300 euros.

What you did with the speed sensor I don’t now I used math book covers glued to get the gap. Steel vs cardboard

Last time I saw my clutch I removed the engine

I’m making 475+ wheel at the moment (62/66 big turbo car) and my max rods have given me ZERO complaints, definitely would by again

Are you still planning to come out with a 914 video? I really like your channel. I miss the 914 videos. I am restoring a 914 now. I have not made an engine decision yet.

Very informative

Great tutorial. Thanks for the lesson. The one reason I watched was to confirm whether adding shims on the rear trailing arm added positive camber or added negative camber, which wasn't mentioned. I suspect removing shims adds negative camber, but I'm not sure. Also, knowing the effects on camber relative to the thickness of the shims added or removed was another piece of data I was seeking. Any thoughts?

U anything on the bex engine

Please cherish and preserve this exceptional example. Let in-period quality and originality speak for itself. They're not making these gems anyymore! You're a lucky buyer to find this level of beauty. Now you have a duty. Cherish it 🥰

Anyone know if there is ecu programmer tools that work with a 2000 audi a4 b5 1.8t?

I’m looking at one. I may make an off on it. The gentleman that owns it started restoring it but has health issues. He has several packards someone hopefully will get them and restore them

What about for something that can support 1000HP?

Brilliant video. I am going to be buying one and i aim to push only 300 at first. Maybe 550 in a couple years but this video has made my decision to buy one. So much potential

7:42 Note the red hexagon Packard trademark in the hub of the ship's wheel.

Can anyone give me a review on SPA Performance forged pistons and rods?

Nice. The presenter's manner of speaking reminds me of Secretary Antony Blinken. (I turned the TH-cam playback speed up to 1: 25 so i could get through it without losing my concentration.)

Will save this video for future reference 😊😊😊, thank you

I gradually became curious about these late Packards. There are still a few unrestored survivors around town. So they must have been made well. Thanks!

Correction: Last year for the Detroit-Built Clipper but the name soldiered on for one more year as a Studebaker-based automobile built in South Bend.

are u still using the exh supertech valves until now? i heard they sometimes bend on high rpms

Literally my problem after storing my 944 lol

Packard was a good looking luxury car. It really can't be compared to other cars of it's time that have been customized because this car has what every luxury car enthusiast appreciates, it needs no changes. Brings back a look of what life was like in the 1950's era.

THANKYOU SO MUCH BIG BIG HELP I HAVE A 1977 924 WITH A V8 CONVERSION I HAVE THE FIRST SWAP V8 FROM RENEGADE HYBRID DONE ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO

Dude your video just opened up a world of possibilities for my proyect. Look, I'm making a single seater rally car with mid engine from scratch. The idea is basically the result of a Formula car having a baby with a baja buggy. Now, I would like to use an automatic or DSG transaxle and an LS engine for this, but I fear breaking the gearbox or simply being unable to have it running independently from the rest of the vehicle. Chassis, suspension, brakes, etc. All of that is no problem, my issue here is the transaxle with a 360hp to 425hp v8 engine attatched to it and working in stand alone mode. How do I make it happen? If you have any resources or give me a general direction to walk it would be amazing. I'm not gonna spend the moneh needed for a c8 corvette transaxle from tremec cuz that is insane money for me.

Great video. Starting work on our 944 that has sat for 15 years

Great vid. Did you do anything to support the engine before the torque tube came out? Not sure if it’s necessary. Thanks.

❤❤❤ Мне жаль , что Пакарды прервались в 1958г.. Уникальный бренд!!! Ваша машина красивая! 2х цветная краска 🎉🎉🎉

Great information! I'm in the process of build a 1.8t stroker on 06A block. I'll be using the 2.0T FSI crank with aftermarket rods. I was wondering which 2.0Tf factory forged pistons would work with this build? Boring and honing is not a problem. I really don't want to drop $1k on aftermarket pistons, especially since I won't be making the power most of them are rated for. Thanks!

The only American car with 4-wheel torsion bar. Chrysler was front only, and no load lever. Oh, the trans: part of the development cost was for a lockup torque converter, almost 30 years ahead of Detroit - and they were MADE IN DETROIT! Slow ratio steering, but you could steer with a single finger, no power assist. 26-1/2 quart cooling system capacity - over 6.5 gallons! A few years back, a hot-rodded 374 Packard made for the Engine Masters series produced almost 450 (later 475) HP on the dyno. Impressive. Dad had a red/black '55 Clipper Custom Constellation, 2-door hardtop.

I LOVE IT TOO❤❤❤!!!! -from an old 3 '49 Packards owner.

Will this information translate over to the 2.0t FSI ? Thanks.

I dealt with self adjusting pressure plate for the 1st time this past weekend.... After watching a few videos and with limited tools, i eventually used only the park bench lol... Yes park bench in my yard that had thick wooden seat.... Placed the pressure plate on top with 3 x same size small sockets evenly placed under the outer edge of the cover of the plate.... Centered it in the gap between the seats, long thickish bolt from underneath pressing against the bottom of the seat, old bearing , washer on top with nut and turned the nut with my wrench..... Once i found the sweet spot moved the pin anticlockwise, held it in the reset position opposite the marked colored dots on the cover while releasing pressure... Job done 😊 ...... No need for the flywheel and clutch plate to be present

Watched this, then thought.... strings, how 2020, it's 2024 and I got a pair of lasers. Lined the laser levels up 6in from rear hubs, turned them so they same from front hub and it worked great. Used it to measure camber and caster too since it projects a nice vertical plane.

Fantastically great video!! Thank you for taking the time to show us your knowledge. When I went to school for this, I was taught how to do an alignment without the machine before I was taught how to do it with a machine. That was a long time ago with no Internet. Lol. Thank you again for the great work that you are doing.

🔥🔥🔥🔥 I need your info

I had an S3 18T AMK. iIts reliable and with stock turbo you can make over 280hp easily. ECU stage 1 is basic. They are running pretty dry (fuel/air ratio) and they usually broke headers/turbo because of that
