I suppose you could take the engine from the 1949, but you wouldn't be able to use much of anything else as the 1951 Packard was a completely new car from the ground up.
Not sure about using the 48-50 engine in a later model. You can use a 51 and later engine in the 49 because the front motor mount is on a plate that will bolt to the front of the block. I don't think the reverse is true with the 49 engine because of the change in mounts. I do not believe that block has the extra casting thickness and threaded holes on the sides of the block used for the 51 and later engine mounts.
