I am going to keep this on the recent sidebar for a couple days...need to find a good home for this, available after May 1st or so.

PM sent.

Working on getting engine number to confirm but based on counting the bolts on the water jacket plate, this engine is more likely 35-36 SUPER 8. The gentleman who advised me as such is a longtime PAC member and has tentatively called dibs if so...but if you have a better story than wanting a spare engine as a coffee table in your mancave we will listen.

If you want a spare engine as a coffee table, I know a guy

I would have to take off my socks to count the spare engines, I think.


I would have asked since it's not too far from Out West for safekeeping, but it'd be better to go to a forever home. Like as not, I'll never own something from that era. Besides, I prefer monoblocks.

Hello, WILL THIS ENGINE FIT A 1939 PACKARD THAT HAD A SUPER 8 3 SPEED ENGINE/TRANSSMISSION ? DOES YOUR PHOTO ALSO SHOW A RADIATOR TO THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE ? DOES ENGINE TURN ? WHAT REASONABLE PRICE DO YOU HAVE ON IT ? AND IT IS LOCATED IN NASHVILLE TENNESSI ? I AM LOOKING AT A 1939 PACKARD SUPER 8 LIMO THAT HAS NO ENGINE NOW.

PLEASE RESPOND TO WEEDSNBUGS@AOL.COM , THANK YOU, MARCEL G. ROBATTO

PS : I WOULD LIKE TO BUY THE 1939 PACKARD I MENTION ABOVE BUT, NOT IF I CANNOT FIND AN ENGINE FOR IT FIRST.

No, a 1935-36 Super 8 engine will not fit in a 1939 Super 8. It's an entirely different engine, 3-1/2" bore versus 3-3/16 bore just one of many differences.

1. The 36 Super 8 engine went to the right home.
2. I have no 39 super 8 engines in stock right now. the last one I had sold for $15,000. I don't know if you understand fully what you are asking for - this is primarily a 1 year only engine.
3. Your next best option would be to put a 120 motor in the car. I can supply this motor...no problem. This would maintain the most originality and you could call it a 120 Deluxe... this would also save you thousands on the dashboard.
4. finally the most usable option may be to go with a late model drive train- any number of suggestions would be appropriate and affordable. You would also be able to have air conditioning and a drivable automatic.

OK I see it on Facebook. Good car for the money. Buy with the intention of modern drivetrain. The other parts car is that....if you really want a 39 Super8 motor, there it is, ready for a deep dunk in the money bucket.
5. If you really want a 39 Super 8 motor, get ahold of Fran Zak.

G'day WEEDSNBUGS,
to PackardInfo.

Is this the Packard you want the '39 Engine and Trans for? Looks a decent car.

If it is, I invite you to include in PackardJnfo's Packard Vehicle Registry if/when you purchase it.
