Packard's engineering staff designed and built excellent, reliable engines. Packard offered a 12-cylinder engine—the "Twin Six"—as well as a low-compression straight-eight, but never a 16-cylinder engine. After WWII, Packard continued with their successful straight-eight-cylinder [[flathead engine|flathead]] engines. While as fast as the new GM and Chrysler OHV V8s, they were perceived as obsolete by buyers. By waiting until 1955, Packard was almost the last U.S. automaker to introduce a high-compression [[V8 engine]]. The design was physically large and entirely conventional, copying many of the first-generation Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Studebaker Kettering features. It was produced in {{cvt|320|cuin|L|1|adj=on}} and {{cvt|352|cuin|L|1|adj=on}} displacements. The Caribbean version had two four-barrel [[carburetor]]s and produced {{cvt|275|hp|kW}}. For 1956, a {{cvt|374|cuin|L|1|adj=on}} version was used in the Senior cars and the Caribbean two four-barrels produced {{cvt|305|hp|kW}}.{{clarify|date=August 2018|reason=what spec produced 305hp, Carib dual quad or Senior?}}
