Joe Block Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 What do have in 356 engines and 288 heads, later years, Packards42@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flackmaster Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) 356 Engines, yes. Several. From doorstops to a NOS engine in the Packard Crate (23rd Series). Are you wanting a specific date, or price point? Do you need a block, or complete engine. How many do you want?As to the 288 head, need to know what casting number you want - I've got about a dozen of those...

Robsyb Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I know this is an old post, but we think we have a cracked 282 block in our 1936 120. Do you sell blocks? Bradley 310-720-8591 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flackmaster Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Yeah, this post is old. So am I.I am certain I have a bare 37 - 282 engine. Must you have a 36 block?And for anyone else who pulls up this post, 385's are all gone. 320's, as of today I can still pull a few needles out of the haystack, depending on what you need282's, yes.110/6cyls. parts only.Postwar, still can provide straight 8's.

Guest JariV Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Hello flackmaster, old post but still asking: I'm in search of a Packard 9-bearing aluminum block with crank, oilpan camshaft plus gear and possibly flywheel. With least amount of stroke and forged crankshaft. Would not need the cylinders. Ideally I'm searching the aluminum bottom end with the later years 327 forged crank if they can be mated to fit. You able to help out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flackmaster Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 327 aluminum block?? I think we are confused, or at least one of us is! Please re-define. I have an aluminum 320 crank/crankcase 37 or 38, I'd have to dig it out and look....but first, I await further info from you. Thanks! DAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JariV Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Sorry for confusing you. I try to explain better. I'm looking for following: - 9 bearing aluminum bottom end without cylinder section and head (don't know the cubic inches they had)- two possible options for the crank, first is a 327 9-bea forged crank if it fits the earlier alu bottom- second is the original forged crank of the bottom end itself if it does not have too much stroke (4.25" is maximum)- timing gear and cover-flywheel-oilpan So I am looking for the the 8-cyl aluminum bottom end but since the info about older Packard engine internals are as scarce as hen's teeth so my knowledge is quite limited. Info about later Packard inline eights is available and that's where I was able to find out the info about 327 9-bearing crank. 359 has too much stroke for what I'm planning. If there was a complete aluminum bottom end with a FORGED crankshaft that did not exceed 4 inches or so of stroke then I'd be interested in that. Distributor would be a nice addition too. So a complete bottom end minus the cylinders and everything that bolts on to the cast iron part. Is a 316cid a 9-bearing bottom end L8 with 4.25 inches of stroke? Or not a 9-bearing?

HH56 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) 3 hours ago, old viking said: hei looking for a 327 for my 1954 packard Patrician complete motor If you are trying to restore to stock the 54 Patrician would have had the 359 engine. Motor number on the smooth pad above the starter starts M6xxxxx. The 327 will fit and work but would not be correct if that makes a difference. If you do go for a 327 try for the 9 main instead of the 5 main used in junior cars. That engine would be indistinguishable from a 359 except for motor number. You can easily see which it is by looking at the number of 1/8" pipe plugs present on the main oil gallery running the length of the engine on the passenger side just above the oil pump. There is a plug at each drilled port going to a main bearing. Edited October 14, 2017 by HH56 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
