Hi 51Landau

Congratulations on becoming a Packard owner with a rare, unique project! Welcome to the Forum with the most helpful, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and generous group of Packard fellows who are standing by for advice and help. Please start a Forum Project Blog to post your questions and make later access easier to find.

As a bit of information that might be helpful is the 2413 Commercial chassis had the five bearing 327 cu in engine that is standard to all '51-'54 300 and Cavalier models and '53-54 Clipper Super and Deluxe models. It was optional on '51-'52 200 Deluxes. Check the Motor Serial Number charts on here for the correct numbers that would interchange. Those models that can be used for parts cars are not terribly difficult to locate. We try to post those that appear on various Craigslists under the "Various CL Pickings" thread in the For Sale/Wanted section.

Good luck with your Packard project and again welcome!

Steve
