They were all Thunderbolt but if you post the engine number which is stamped on a raised boss just below the head head near the starter, we’ll know exactly which engine it is. There were several: 288, 327 5-main, 327 9-main and possibly 359 with an earlier cast iron head replacement although with 2-barrel carburetor, it’s likely not.

Put a decimal point after the 3 and you have the first 6 digits of Pi.

Other than being Pi, it's from a 1954 Clipper and is the 327 with 5-main bearings and solid lifters according to the Packard Decoder.

There are lots of those, comparatively. But there is only one Pi . . . .
If it were a "barn find," then it would be perfect.
