Re: 1950 6-Cyl Packard Motor.

Casting date on the block is 4/11/50. Also take note of the side motor mount holes which didn't appear until 1951 on the 8 cyl blocks.
I don't believe those side holes referred to in the engine photo are for a motor mount. On pre 51 engines, they were also used for electromatic clutch. Not sure if that was their only purpose or on prewars since that has a different power unit but suspect they might be there. Later 51 on motor mounts are also 4 holes IIRC.
