Help identify a straight 8
Posted by tpow On 2007/12/18 22:06:57
I have a barn fresh 48 convertible that I am just getting started on and I have a question about identifying the engine.
The head says PACKARD, above that cast in the head is "389721 288" (the 288 is in slightly larger text than the 389721). The 389721 may be 388721. There is also a cast number on the leading edge of the head by cylinder #1 that reads "82749". There is some heavy surface rust so reading these was a challenge.
Is this a 288 or did they use the same head on the 327?
