There is still no mention of what year the engine is.
The information I have is from the Packard Company and specifies what rods are used in which engines. For example, it states that a 626-633 rod weighs 37 1/2 ounces, while a 640-645 rod weighs 46 ounces. I think that pretty much resolves that issue. As well, the documents also discuss conversion to insert bearing rods and so there is a good likelihood the numbers are valid through 1936 for Super Eight. However, if the engine is a pre-1929 eight the situation is different because the bore and stroke for the six was the same as the eight.

Thanks, My rods must be Standard 8 they weigh 39 oz. I need to look for some Super 8 rods. Sorry, I originally measured the crank with a metal scale. The Standard 8 crank journal measures .025 inch shorter journal than my Super 8. The second time I used a digital veneer caliper. Thanks Again for the good Info.
