Avanti 289 vs. Hawk 289

[dallastx75208]

What is the difference between an Avanti 289 and a Hawk 289? Are some engine parts interchangable?

[Mike Van Veghten]

All parts are interchangeable. Same basic engine.

Some interchanges will work, but not directly or are incorrect. Different pistons, heads, carb, manifold, cam, oil pan, distributor, timing gear, intake & water pump manifolds and more.

What about a crank shaft pulley?

Not even close. The Avanti, and the Avanti engined Larks/Hawks use a different vibration damper and the Avanti car uses a big, heavy 3 groove cast iron pulley.

I have been looking for a three grove pulley to put on my 289. Going to hook up air, and power steering. That type of pulley will not work?

No, even if you could mount it on a standard 289, it would not line up with anything. Studebaker just stacks the single pullys with a spacer.
