The motor number should fall within the #'s you mentioned. The motor # on the 356 engine is found stamped on the drivers side of the engine block just below the cylinder head near the #4 spark plug and may be partial obscured by the spark plug loom. The build date is cast into the block on the drivers side down at the very lower rear and the engine # is on the opposite side but same location. The 22-23 Series Customs are magnificent automobiles. Good luck with your purchase but be sure to have the car thoroughly inspected by someone familiar with Packards of this era to ensure authenticity and that there are no major mechanical issues to deal with. I see that the car has the Electromatic clutch and overdrive.
