I love Ponca City!

I found a barn with a pile of Packard blocks cranks and stuff. i am going to go back and get a nine bearing 327 for my 52' ( mine has a 51 288 that replaced what was original) I want to put what i think was original in my 52 Deluxe which was the 327. but i am not sure of the casting numbers to look for other than the THUNDERBOLT 327 AT on the head. if anybody knows more about this let me know. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FINNED ALUMINUM HEAD??
also there is bunch of Engines and transmission and all kind stuff that the nice lady is getting rid of ( Packard collector Husband passed to Heaven). i will give you her number if any body gets back to this post.

Thanks
