Engine number/year

I am trying to track an engine number.

It is supposedly a '31 std 8.

338250

Based on my research that number is too high. Am I missing something?

Are you sure you're seeing it correctly? According to my sources it falls into no-man's land, too high for the 8th series and too low for the 9th.

Though it isn't guaranteed to provide an answer, any casting dates?

Owen_Dyneto,

Thanks for the response.

The car is titled as a '31 Packard and it is identified as 338250.

The engine number was all I could come up with as to why that number is on the title.

Maybe it is an assigned number to comply with current title requirements??

338250 is on the patent plate, or the motor, or both? Or neither, just on the title?

Mystery solved. The number on the title is one digit off the engine number 33xxxx vs 32xxxx

Does 328250 tell you anything?

Yes, 328250 fits quite neatly into the motor # range for the 826/833.

For the purposes of my research database, would you provide me with the theft-proof number?
