I have a 288 that I will have to do this same battle with, this winter i'm making the chassis like new, now doing the bottom of that now. Full frame off for my 49. For every Packard we restore, an angel gets it's wings.
Great to hear you are getting your '49 back on the road. It's a labor of love for sure. Hopefully your engine isn't as bad as this one. Every single valve was seized to some extent. None were free. I'm still battling the last four intake valves with little to no progress.
