Yup, the information on the Packard production record is rather scant for some models, but at least you have the means to decode it here at P'Info.

I suspect engine selection was not listed as a build code because the choice was limited by model - essentially a one-to-one basis. However, if special dispensation was granted by the factory for some other engine, I'd like to believe that there would be some sort of notation elsewhere on the record.

Of course, the VIN stamping on the block will tell the tale. If that engine IS authentic to this particular car, I'd also like to know the letter prefix of the Utica engine number that's stamped on that block.
