I have one similar to this in my Packard / IMPERIAL page’s Classified Ads and also another type with the Packard crest. I think the fitment is also listed.

According to the Packard Parts book, PN 439028 without the crest fits all 1951-1954 Packards EXCEPT the senior Henney. The Henney-Packard type has the crest.

That engine looks great! I assume it's going to be color-keyed to the car? Also I'm curious about the engine stand you built. Is that just for moving/storing the engine? Or do you use it for working on the engine as well? I have a parts car that I'm going to pull the engine/trans out of and am looking at options for mounting it for rebuild and storage.

Join the dark side and do something with 12v and Holley fuel injection.

'54 Senior engines were painted metallic bronze and I always liked that look, therefore I rummaged in the paint cabinet and the rest is history. I haven't decided on color for the truck yet.

That engine cradle is an easy build using 2 x 10 lumber. I build a rectangle that fits loosely to the oilpan. The engine ends up siting on the heads of all the bolts. The rear side of the rectangle is cut low to clear the bell housing. Then you just screw on some feet to mate with whatever dolly you might come across.

That is great for storage or for test running as it is quite stable. For any sort of rebuilding it is always in the way and too low to the ground. For building these engines I use a heavy duty stand and bolt them to the stand using the 4 bolt holes that usually secure the left side engine mount.

As an aside, I will be running 12v for the benefit of the Torsion Level.

You would be surprised by the increase in power the EFI makes.

Well, my '51 and my '53 can both hit darned close to 100 as is, so I am alright with that and in my more normal driving scheme turn out 16-17 mpg. For something as aerodynamic as a barn door, that seems OK. Besides, my lifestyle generally revolves around choosing the lowest possible level of technology. Scouting around the kitchen from where I am sitting right now I can see 8 devices ready to assist me in various household chores that all have hand cranks........
