Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

Just completed two stock 352"s, so for a change, will be building a 320" and a 374".

The 320" has an interesting back story. It's a NOS short block which someone robbed of the cam and lifters. Sitting around for fifty years, the bores still have the original cosmoline. We'll disassemble, wash, hone, a reground cam, new lifters the short block will be good to go. Add some '56 heads, new valves, hard exhaust seats, positive seals and it's a better-than-NOS long block.

If you know anyone who will be needing either a '55 320" or a '56 374" after the first of the year, let me know.
