"Jason: What size is this packard straight 8 in my son's 1952 200? These are the numbers on drivers side rear of block.K218221
ptv: I'm going to say a 288
ptv: I think K4 would be a 327
Jason: It has 327 cast on top of head
Jason: I've heard some heads have 327 and 288 cast on top but this one does not have 288 cast on it
"

Checking the Packard Engine Serial Number Reference, available for free download here on Site, K218221 is a '52, 5 main bearing, solid lifter, 288.

Heads are interchangeable. Swapping heads is the one official method Packard gave to change compression ratios. Swaps and resulting ratios of various engines are listed in Service Counselor 24#7 and S.C. 25#4. You can download the relevant counselors if you are interested.
