From my email, Guy Ogan is the fella's name.....
"I need help in finding items to make my wife's 64 Studebaker Wagonnair more "driver friendly". The car is VERY HEAVY and the little 2 Barrel 259 V8 with three-on-the-tree just doesn't have the power to get moving well. That plus the non-power steering and a reluctant transmission make it VERY HARD for my wife to drive. I'd like to see if you have any of the following items:
1. 289 crankshaft that would fit in the current 259 V8 to give it more power at rebuild
2. .60 Over Pistons for use with the 289 crank at rebuild
3. R3 Valves and spring kit for use in the heads on rebuild
4. Ted Harbit R2 camshaft for installation into the 259 V8 on rebuild
5. Jeff Rice Intake for use with a 1406 Edelbrock 600 cfm carburetor (I already have carb)
6. Powersteering set-up with mounting bracket to be installed on the 259 V8 at rebuild
7. Avanti Power Shift Automatic with Floor Shifter for installation into the Wagonnaire
8. Turner Front Disk Break Kit
Please let me know if you have or know where I can get any of these items (w/price if possible).
I would also appreciate the name and phone number of a competent Studebaker mechanic in the Texas or Oklahoma area who could do the rebuild and installation."
