Shawn, your other thread shows the engine number as being P95570. That is a standard, 1963 model year 289 engine.

It did not come in an Avanti or a truck; it was originally shipped in a 1963 Lark or Hawk. Considerable research would be required to determine the Serial Number of the Vehicle in which it was originally installed, and from that the model of the vehicle, although it can be done. It can't be done by just looking at the engine number, however.

It has a 2bbl carburetor, so it was rated at 210 HP. That's really all that can be deciphered from the stamped engine number. BP

Shawn-- I can see from the picture that you have the 2 barrel manifold that is easily modified to become a 4 barrel manifold. I believe Bob Helm studebaker (in Texas, I think) does this on exchange basis, possibly others do, too. Just FYI.
