1939 Packard Six, Taxi engine?

I have been working to preserve my Dads 1939 Packard Six. It is coming along quite nicely, completed the dash and window trim wood graining, heater refinish, king pins, brakes, master cylinder, headliner and ready to tackle more of the interior.

The engine is a bit noisier, at times, than I like. Some is valve lifters but I think I hear something more substantial from time to time, rod bearing?

My Dad believed this car had a taxi engine. How can I identify that? How is teh taxi engine different from a norma Six?

Thanks in adance
