Thank you sir for the help

Are most straight 8 engines green ?
Does anyone make a rattle can that’s close ?
Doesn't have to be exact.
Mine actually looks gray , but I’ve seen pics of green engines that look much nicer.

What carburetor came on the post war straight 8 ? What carb have you used …Holley , stromberg ? Has anyone tried to use aftermarket 2 bbl fuel injection ? I don’t have an original carb so I have options

Thank you so much for the chart and advice ,it will be very helpful moving forward.

Thank you for the info.

Hey I’m new to this site. Looking for info and it came up on a google search.
I don’t have a Packard car , just an engine and a transmission. I’m building a one of a kind hot rod!
It’s a’29 Ford Sport Coupe. I’m using a Packard straight 8 and trans in it.
The number on the block ,drivers side ,rear is
H 284452 and there is a casting mark,drivers side on the bottom of the block
5-4-50. Is this a 1950 model? What is the engine cubic inch size ? What is the horsepower ?
I also need a throw out bearing and shift linkage.
And it would probably be a good idea to install a new water pump.
Thanks for any help.
