I was told buy a lifelong Packard owner (he is still driving the same 250 convertible that he brought new in '51) that if you bought a '51 200 it came standard with the 288 and manual trans. If you wanted the Ultramatic, it only came with the 327 5 main bearing. He even showed me the casting on the head that reads 327 AT (automatic transmission). I don't know how much of that is true, but that's my two cents worth.
