Hello all, Happy Newyear!! Im new to this Forum, great to see so many information about the Packard. 2 weeks ago i bought me a 1954 super clipper, its in a fair condition, chrome could be better, but technical its ok. After reading into some specs. i found some strange things on my car, first i saw the 288 stamped on the head, but the engine number says L327445 that refers to a`53 372cui, is that even possible to use a 288 head on a 372 block?

i will have alot more questions i think, but time will tell.
i have put a pic with it
