Packard Industrial Engines?
#1

I recently purchased a 48 deluxe 4dr, it has a 327 head on the engine,possibly the whole engine was changed out.
I found a brass tag in the glove box that says
Packard Motor Car Co
Model 1D-327 INDUSTRIAL ENGINE
TYPE NUMBER SERIAL NUMBER
DA327 15226
Did Packard make stationary-industrial type engines? Does this tag have anything to do with a 327 ci eight?What engine block should this car have?If this tag goes with an engine would it be the 5 main or the nine main?
Thanks in advance for your help

The quickest way to determine how many mains a straight eight has if the #'s are not there or legible is to look on the passenger side of the engine block, down below the fuel pump, on the oil galley. If you see 8 little 1/8" NPT plugs, you have a nine main (the other one would be where the oil pump is, but isn't there, since the oil pump is) If there's 5, then you have your answer.

BTW, where in Kansas are you?

Kansasboy,

to the Site.

If you haven't already done so could you add your '48 to the Owner Registry including a pic and it's history. if known?

Eric,

You might have a Packard friend closer to home now rather than 10,000 miles away!

Well, 45 miles is a LOT closer than most of the people on here.

Kansasboy, one of these day's we'll have to get together around a sixpack and chat about Packards.

Great, thanks for that. Always good to see another Packard on the Site. BTW - Looks like you're a night owl, so join Eric and me in the Chat Room sometime.

Sounds good. How long have you had your packards? Are you aquainted with the late Ken Price or Alan Rich?

I have had a Packard in one form or another since I was 19, which was 13 years ago. and no, I've never met them, I'm kinda alone here when it comes to Packards, which is why I'm on here so much!

Well we are definitely going to have to get together, there may be more Packard people around than you think.
My grandfather bought a 49 Super new and when he passed my father kept it around for most of my childhood.The one I owned longest was a 48 Custom,still sorry I let that one go.But the list of ones I let go includes:
41 180 seven pass
55 Caribbean
55 400 (2)
53 Cavalier
Scads of Studes an a sprinkling of other makes now I have mainly Internationals and a 56 Golden Hawk.
