Thanks for all this info, guys. I will carefully inspect my engine for all these features, and hopefully can determine what it is.
Update: The date on the block casting, in front of the starter, is "12 7 48", so this appears to be a 1948 casting, but how then does it have the wierd engine number "N235361. CE CAL." ??

I will post my findings tonight after I look for all the things you guys pointed out.

The Packard parts guys at Kanter are trying to help me find the correct oil pan for this engine, and so far the dimensions don't make sense. I am confident with your help, we will solve this!!
