Judging from what I know of this car, since it's here in Kansas up by Kansas City, I'm going to say that the engine's a 327 if it's original, and I'm pretty sure it is. I'm thinking it's a 2270, as shown here:https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/modelinfo/viewmodel.php?model=83

The nice thing about 327's and 288's is that as long as the 327 is a 5 main you can use a 288 block, and 288 blocks are everywhere.
