The Edmunds head is probably worth some $$, but not sure if it's for a Packard. The studs look like they line up, but the spark plugs are not the stock siamezed position, but maybe an "upgrade". Can't tell from one side. The thermostat hole is also smaller. It's a little before my time.

The Packard head is a high compression head, and I'm not sure how rare they are for a 356 engine but most likely hard to find.

Edit: just found out from a well known and respected Packard owner & enthusiast that there were far more HC heads on prewar 160's & 180's than regular heads.
