Can 42 1x2x4 cuboids be packed into a 7x7x7 cube?

Question

Can 42 1x2x4 cuboids be packed into a 7x7x7 cube without cutting any of them? Assume that all cuboids have their axes parallel to the axes of the big cube. I tried using https://www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/polysolver.htm but it didn't find any answer quickly enough. I also tried various coloring techniques to prove impossibility, but none seemed to work.

If it is impossible, is there any elegant proof?

41 cuboids is possible (image taken directly from Polyform Puzzle Solver):

Answer 1

Via integer linear programming, the maximum is

$41$.

For each of the $1008$ possible boxes $b$, let $C_b \subset [7] \times [7] \times [7]$ be the set of cells covered by $b$, and let binary decision variable $x_b$ indicate whether box $b$ is used. The problem is to maximize $\sum_b x_b$ subject to linear "packing" constraints $$\sum_{b: (i,j,k) \in C_b} x_b \le 1 \quad \text{for all $(i,j,k)\in [7]\times[7]\times[7]$}$$

The linear programming relaxation has maximum objective value

$41 + 9/11$,

achieved by the following fractional solution, where each row shows $C_b$ and $x_b$:

For this coloring, every $1\times2\times4$ box has sum of colors equal to $1$, and the sum of colors in the big cube is $41+9/11$, so you cannot pack more than $41+9/11$ disjoint boxes.
