The fab work in this is really nice.

Just wow that's all I can say.

Someone managed to stick a blower on a Packard 356 cu. straight eight?! Well then, this certainly wins the most unique way to get power. The only more radical move I could think of would be installing a Klimov M-105 V12 into a Packard!

Didn't the guys at the Guild up in Canada build a Rat Rod with a Packard straight 8 with a blower on it as well? I think i saw that on a couple of episodes of "Restoration Garage".

My thoughts exactly.

Now that is refreshing from a typical 350 GM V8 ... Nice work ..

Originality is a rare commodity! Kudos to the designer/builder!

Turns out it is in an International pickup.

Whoever welded up the headers could use some practice but, YEAH! Pretty cool.

Not the prettiest work, but if they don't leak They'll do.

Has anyone counted the exhaust tubes or are my eyes getting that bad??

If you see eight tubes, you are good..... it's a straight eight Packard.

Yes, but which one?

[52-fan]

Yes, but which one?

The number of tubes had made me wonder too. I pulled up another picture of a Packard 8 with headers. One of the tubes on the engine in the truck is hidden at the rear in shadow.
