Just aquired a very nice 1946 Clipper 4dr sedan. Sifting thru the parts I have to put together a list of needed items. Seems I have everything but the six cylinder block and crankshaft. - Advice is welcomed as to how to proceed - opinions welcome...Switch to an Eight?

Yeah there's not really any straight 6 engines out there. It would be cool to find one but I wouldn't hold your breath.

Demand for the 6 cyls has historically been low as well even though the cars are very rare.

G'day Boxeratheart,
to PackardInfo.

I would caution about fitting an Eight engine to your Six. Reason being, the Eight had a longer front clip to accommodate the longer engine; which means the Eight may have trouble fitting in the space the Six formerly occupied.

However, I invite you to include your '46 Clipper Sedan in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry.

There is an engine on e-bay, $150.

e-bay - Packard six

The head has a 1-7-41 date, so I don't know what might be different.

There is a more complete engine also on e-bay. This was some one's spare for their '37. They want $1,350.

e-bay - 1937 Packard six
