440 intake adapted to Packard V-8

Hi guys! I usually post in the Packard forum, but I'm in need of some info about the 413/440 Mopar intake.

1) 1955-56 Packard Caribbeans had 2x4bbl intake manifolds. These

manifolds are very rare (about 1,000 cars produced) and if you can

find one, they are very $$$.

2) 2x4bbl aluminum intakes are available from the aftermarket

(Edelbrock, Offy, etc).

3) I was comparing the Packard V-8 intake to a Pontiac V-8 intake the

other day and it could have been readily adapted to the Packard except

that the Packard has #1 cylinder (driver side) forward-most in the

block and the Pontiac has #2 cylinder (passenger side) forward-most in

the block. That killed the possibility of an "easy" adaption.

3) I started looking around the web for other candidates and happened

across this:

Which I'm sure you 413/440 guys recognize as an Edelbrock #5440.

So, my question is: does anybody have a 413/440 intake off the engine

which they could measure and work with me on determining the

feasibility of adapting one to the Packard V-8?
