1938 Super 8 engine torque?

I wondered what the engine torque is for the '38-era 320 Super 8 motor then was surprised to find I could not locate it anywhere. I've been through all of my Packard books, magazines and brochures, and none of the specs I located online include it.

I know the Twelve had 322 lbs but what about the Super 8 by comparison?

For those of you fortunate enough to have driven both the Super 8 and Twelve of '37-'39 - just how much quicker is the Twelve's acceleration despite its extra weight?

Thanks-
