I also like the 356 engine. It was used in the senior cars for 10 years and during that time Packard offered the most horsepower of any American production car. The 327 and 359 9 main and even the 288 and 327 5 main engines were based upon this engine. It is reliable, sturdy, smooth running , quiet and has plenty of torque. My other favorites include the original Twin Six, the 385 Super Eight engine and the Twelve which were magnificent in their respective time periods.
