Have there been any McKinnon - Chevy powered Studebakers in the drag races? I'm not really into racing, but the thought occurred to me today.
And (this may stir up a lot of comments), could or would a 65 Studebaker beat a 64 Studebaker if both are the same model and same kind of transmission? The 283 is a lighter engine, I am told, than the 259 or 289.
How fast could a Studebaker with the stock 283 go if it's modified in the same manner as the Studebakers we see at the stock muscle car drag races? Would a 283 with a blower even be allowed since the factory never offered it?
I see lots of directions this discussion could take.
