FWIW, four years ago, a friend had a custom aluminum cylinder head designed and built for the Hudson Hornet 6-cylinder engine; they were about $1500 each. The I8 Packard would be a similar exercise, just 1/3 longer. At a guess, $2500 each today.

As for the cylinder head, it is the total opposite. High level of risk selling one let alone 10. Price and the industry base to reverse engineer the cylinder head are exceedingly expensive from what I can tell and not really present in any significant capacity, respectively.


Welcome to Packard Land. I have the same problem with anything I choose to reproduce.
