The Packard 352ci engine that is in my '56 Ambassador does have a number stamped in the usual oil filler location similar to the Packard built cars. The number on my engine is "P27774"....but unlike Packard, this number does not correspond in anyway to the actual serial number on the data plate for my '56 Nash. I also have a spare Packard engine removed from a Nash parts car....the number stamped on the back of the block shows its a 352ci....the number near the oil filler is: "P23734".....


Thanks for the info. I've yet to figure out where the "SP 087" comes from or if the company doing the conversion bought the engines direct from Studebaker-Packard. Maybe that is the "SP" in the serial number?
