I believe it is 7-12. Very hard to read that part. Perhaps spraying some mist on it might brighten it up? If I am going to recreate it, I ought to determine what it really is.

Believe the AOS refers to the manufacturer of the frame A.O.Smith

I wondered that too, if it were AO Smith. Seems to make sense.

Yes, A. O. Smith was a supplier of frames to Packard from as early as the late 1920s (and perhaps earlier) thru 1956. They later sold off that business and are currently a major maker of hot water heaters and other similar appliances. A while back a friend was able to contact them and obtain their engineering prints for a particular 6th series frame but more recently I have been advised that they no longer have these archives.

I happened to be in the video editing mood so I put together some of the video I had of the 356. This one is with disassembly. Enjoy!

Very cool!!! Thank you.

IIRC, the crank is 105#. Your weight for the block seems light to me. Not doubting you, but I would have guessed it weighed more.


Good luck on parts.


I found this a while back and offer it as food for thought. I'll be following this. I have a barn full of Packard 8s in need of TLC.

If you're not having fun, maybe it's your own damned fault.
