That is interesting, it corresponds to what Dave (Clipper47) was saying about the stamped number matching the casting number. I've never seen that in postwar engines.

So now the question is, do you have a 385 or a 320?

And on the PM, unless we see an "AM" sometime, I'm willing to bet it means "Packard Motors". The "X", well I've seen that on every straight eight I've ever seen. A lot of times they're angled, meaning not exactly squared and centered properly.
