The National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, TX has a nice display of an original PT boat fitted with four Packard engines. I'm not sure what engine it is exactly, but I was able to snap a picture of one that they had removed. Someone on here may be able to tell which engine it actually is.

The guy conducting the tour procured the boat from a fisherman in New York, who had acquired it from the Navy after WWII. They drove the boat all the way from NY to Texas, and I believe it had all four original engines during that journey.
