My neighbor wants to sell these heads to me. He doesn’t nor I know what they go too! So here’s my question to the HAMB community,….”what’s this to!” ♂️
That’s what I’m finding too, nothing but something related to the Packard V12. It’s a start thank you all!
Yes, they are Packard. Looks like 2 pair but there is a left and right. They switched to aluminum heads near the end of the V-12, like the last 2 or 3 years if I recall.
Hey there Highlander I don’t see or hear of too many V12’s being rebuilt. Cool engine to see. So my neighbor doesn’t even know what they go to. But what would be a fair price to pay for them. I don’t think I’ll ever use them but I’d like to have them to horse trade. Thanks again and Happy Fathers Day!!!
They have a value. I'd suggest looking for a pair to see what pops up. Don't quote me here, but I think someone made new ones some time ago. There's Packard 12s out there that are valued well into 6 figures, some well into 7. Of course they won't sell fast like a set of Ford aluminum heads but they're certainly not scrap. A buyer will have to leak test. If I can I'll shop around thru a few usual suspects and get back to ya.
I think Packard "Twin Six" as they were refered to. Packard built some of the best, if not "the best" engines of their time. Dad drove straight eights till 1954 when he bought a Cad ohv v-8. He hated it. Yes, Packard built some neat stuff including aircraft & marine engines that helped win WW2.
