Generally the parts are the same for the same type engine except some in 54. You can always use the parts book to check, though sometimes a vendor part will be appropriate even for more than one Packard number.
For example, a good number of cars 1940-1952 used the same head gasket: packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/parts ... &PlateNumber=91&cat=20#resultanchor Several years shared piston rings: packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/parts ... &PlateNumber=90&cat=20#resultanchor

You can get most engine parts for a 288 from Terrill Machine in Texas.
Just send an email with a list of the parts you expect to need to terrillmachine@yahoo.com

You could also try Kanters or Meritt. I used a Kanter complete engine rebuild kit for my '41 120 but that was 15 years ago. Plus shipping now to Oz would be a small fotune!

The most significant difference between the 48-50 engines and the later is that the timing gears, chain and cover are wider on the earlier engines. The bearings, rods, pistons, etc are all the same.
