Quick straight-eight engine ID info

Posted by Jack Vines On 2012/6/15 11:39:34

I'm away from my computer in a Pick'n Pull yard where a '50s Packard I8 is about to go to the scrap yard. Hate to see it scrapped, but I'm mostly a V8 guy and need some quick help here.

Car is gone and the engine, pretty rusty; S/N appears to begin with a "J". How can I reliably determine the displacement and year?

Second question - estimates of core value, with overdrive transmission? Supposedly the car was driven into the yard some years ago.
