IIRC from what Craig and I discussed over three years ago, the 440275-A engines went into Clippers, in 1956. That's why I want to build a database of all these and the cars they came in so we'll know what they are for sure. I think that this is the place to start:

Look at Packard Service Technical Bulletin 55T-33, Dealer 24, July 14, 1955. The subject is service engines 55th series.......3 3/16" bore have casting numbers 446521...4" bore 440275.


This would make sense if the 374 is 440971, but doesn't explain the "A" suffix. There has to be a logical reason why it's there.
