You can try Gerry at Packard southwest in San Diego, he is in the directory. He has a pretty good assortment.

I have a recently repaired aluminum 35-36 Super 8 head. Difference being the water outlet is not integrally cast. The head really only had one area of concerrn prior to repair (between cylinder areas - I have before and after pictures), and the shop did several other minor repairs for good measure at some of the water passageways. I won't be able to post pictures until Monday (I am out of town), but in the meantime you can consider my price of $833.36 for this head.

Hi Dell:
That is not an uncommon problem with Packards. However, if no water is leaking from the thing and the block side is free of cracks the only issue is whether it has been plained beyond the service limit and whether the clamping force is equal. To determine if the clamping force is out of tolerance, torque the head to the block and check the roundness with a bore gauge. If all those cracks are creating weakness the cylinders should be distorting.

Thanks Tim; this engine has not been run for years. I think at least 30. I got it to turn over with the crank for my 28 and want to check the compression before I take the head off. I have the receipt for the rebuild from 1978, insert bearing and 30 over pistons by an old timer that had done several early Packards. I don't want to take it apart any further then I have to. I will post what I find under the head. Dell
