Hi

Thanks for all your responses, though the motivation was to determine if Packard could have simplified their engine building for 1954. Simply bored all their blocks to 3 9/16, let the stroke determine the cubic inch differential. As greater horsepower and torque were all the rage, having 339 and 359 engines to advertise could have been a help to sales appeal. Clearly by the trouncing Packard took that year, they needed all the helpful features they could get to compete.
