Motor's manual shows only one head bolt sequence for '49 & up. I don't know if that means the 327 And the 356 used the same head but nothing prior to '49 had 38 head bolts.
My MOTOR"S shows '46-'47 Super 8 plus all '48-'54. 1956 edition. Whoops,, older book shows '39-'47 Super 8.
had two gents look at the head...it is most definately a PACKARD Super 8 head..it will fit the 288/327 S8 engine......thanks to all who pitched in with help...keep watching...never know what i might come across...the hunt goes on....
where did you get it. i want one for my 327,,, i was thinking about having one made. where did you get it?/
i bo't out a 50 yr. collection of cars,the oldest being a 39 lincoln cv with a v12..there was 2 52 packard cv's also...this sitting under a bench...never installed..i was sold to a gentleman in florida for his packard...he also has the dual carb set up ...should be spectacular when done..
