I was told it was a 356 but maybe not. The engine serial number seems to have to many letters but the first 7 seem to be correct for a 47. 356 .also i was always told that the distributor is directly under the freeze plug on a 356. I went and checked again the lifter are adjustable but maybe when it was rebuilt someone put those in instead of hydraulic lifters

what should valve clearance be on a 1947 356 cold. My motor Manuel says .002-.003 intake and .004-.005 exhaust it dosent seem like enough to me. Just thinking of other engines that are usually around .017-.019 cold.

I have been working on a 1947 356 engine. It was supposed to be rebuilt years ago then it sat for 20 years. I noticed the tube that comes off the intake is blocked off. If i remember correctly it should not be blocked off. Please let me know which way is correct.

Thanks for the reply My isn’t worth 12000 .

Looking for a 356 Packard super 8 in running condition. Preferably with in driving distance of southeastern Pa. I have come across 9 blocks that where cracked in the last 8 months. I was also wondering what else might fit in the car till i find the correct engine.Please Pm me with price and phone number thanks . The car is a 1941 160

My transmission was rebuilt by a well known Packard transmission guy. Sometimes the car will not back up. Sometimes it seems like its in neutral. Other times when you try to backup its like there is something binding up in the trans when you start to leave the clutch out the engine will start to loose rpms but the car will not move back unless you go forward first. What would cause this?

it may have been sold because i got no response when i sent a text

Still looking for a 356 super 8 engine in running condition. or maybe interested in a 1941 356 engine thats rebuildable. Within 500 miles of Phila. PA please PM me Thanks
