Welcome to the forum! Yes it is possible and common to use the 288 head on a 327 engine. It is supposed to raise the compression ratio a little bit. Exaxtly how much it will raise it, I don't know.

Happy newyear! And welcome to the Packard forum. Nice to see that there is a "new" Packard in The Netherlands.
Vertel me maar eens een keer hoe je de ruitenwissermotor hebt gerepareerd, bij mij doet het ding het nog niet (please tell me how you repaired the wipermotor, mine doesn't work). Tom

Your engine number identifies it as you say, a 327 cu. in. Coincidentally the first three digits are 327. Also, it is the variant with the solid or adjustable valve tappets and 5-main bearings. It was rated at 160 b.h.p., but with the 288 cylinder head providing a higher compression ratio, the power may be up a bit.

Thanx for all the information, very helpfull.
And TW about the wipermotor? i just cleaned out the old grease, soaked the leather in ATF for 2 days new gaskets on it and let it run on ATF instead of thick grease, we need thinner fluids here in the Netherlands, its too cold. mine works perfect now.
