The other option is to buy a stamp set and stamp the motor number yourself. The number was supposed to have been stamped when the motor was replaced. So makes me wonder if that car got a surplus replacement engine after Packard shuttered.

Every replacement motor I have seen was stamped with the letters CAL in front of the engine number.

CAL M3#####

Not sure if that has something to do with the state of Calif, or signifies some Packard code for a service replacement engine. But I have been at least 3 cars with known replacement motors with this stamping and all the cars have spent their life in Calif.
