Good luck with those people, I've been waiting for almost two years for them to pick up my parts car and bring me a good 356. Hasn't happened yet, so my opinion is extremely low of them. I got ahold of Bob Signom a couple of weeks ago, he told me that he was going to come get the car and bring an engine to me soon. Then he tells me he'll call me "next Tuesday". Well, Tuesday's come and gone 4 times over and still no word from them. I've given them every opportunity to complete the deal we've made but it looks like it's not going to happen. So, good luck with them and if you're talking to them about getting an engine, tell them you don't want them to take as long to deal with as it did with that Eric Boyle guy....
I'm pretty sure that a standard eight from 1929-'31 will fit. There may be more in either direction as well. There are many engines in the Dayton Packard museum of that vintage and they are for sale. Some people have a hard time dealing with the randomness of museum and the way in which they sell parts, but others are able to get what they need. It's best if you can show up in person after making an appointment.
