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,
![]() 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 There is one from a 1940, includes a transmission, $600 e-bay - 1940 Six

Good afternoon...Your car is set up for a six, and as such, a six will be the proper thing to do. Most likely less expensive to install a rebuilt 6 than an eight. Even if it can be fit in, it will not look right, and gearing in the transmission, and rear end, may not have the right ratios. Look on this site, ebay, advertise in the club news letter...Someone will have a complete engine or at least a block and crank to start with...Check with Max Merritt, Tucson Packard, Kanter Brothers. If none of these guys have one, they will know where you should look next. Ernie in Arizona

If your car did indeed have a six originally, an eight would not fit which I know from experience after having bought a Packard were someone tried to do that very thing. The pan was resting where the radiator was supposed to be! Incidentally, I do have a semi-rebuilt 1940 110 engine available although there are some differences between the prewar and post war versions such as the latter having larger rod bolts.

Great info and thanks. I almost bought another that is a 47 fairly complete. But it is an eight.

By the way, you are right next to Aldrich Restorations. Very experienced Packard guy. Not cheap, but just FYI if you are really stuck on something or need some bulky part he might have it.
