Thanks very much Owen. It's been awhile since I was on the forum, and I was hoping you would still be there with your knowledge and guidance.

I guess the next question I have for you and Andy is if any heads earlier than '33 could work. The reason I'm asking is I found 2 heads available on eBay...one from a Packard 740 Roadster 8, and the other and I quote "1930-31 Packard standard 8-726-33-826-33-cylinder head. Fits all the models stated." but I'm not sure what models he's referring to, and if its a '30-'31 head but it fit a '33, and a '33 probably fits a '34 then maybe I've got a fix ?? I guess the real question is if a '30-'31 will fit and match-up with my 1101 '34 ?

Andy,FYI I've already contacted John Ulrich, and he doesn't have what I'm looking for. I have a bad email for Packard Seattle, so I'll call David Moe and Jim Noah of Packard parts tomorrow. And have an e-mail out to Kanter too. Thanks for the suggestions.
