That indeed is the question. The serial number on it doesn't fit within the normal car "letter year" production run. The problem is that my phone calls to East Grand go unanswered. So i would think there are only 4 possible choices:

1) Service Replacement Motor (but still would have expected it to have a "normalish" Packard passenger car serial number).

2) White Truck motor with possible a replacement head on it.

3) Marine Motor (but perhaps not)

4) Some other kind or commercial/agricultural application.

I guess if anyone knows folks in the White Truck circle, perhaps they can shed some light on the engine serial numbers that were used on the Packard supplied White motor blocks. That would either prove, or eliminate it as a "White" block.
