As far as the latest postwar engine that can be made to fit, Packard discontinued the 356 and made the then current 327 9 main available as a service replacement. They detailed how and what was needed for installing the later engine in 42-50 Custom Eight models but perhaps there is enough information in this Service Counselorhttps://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/SC/SC-VOL27NO7.pdf you can get some guidelines and determine what would be needed if you wanted to put one in your car. There were minor follow up articles and corrections in Vol 27 #9 and Vol 28 #9.
