Truck folks, this is a photo of a motor in a 1955 E38. SDC info says this truck would've had a 259 V8 in it, although seller says it's a 289.
Since it's stated as a non-original motor, I wonder if it's even a Studebaker one. I ask because, one, I'm not knowledgeable on this subject, and two, the only Studebaker V8 motor I have for comparison is a 1963 289. The valve covers on mine have only two hold-down bolts whereas the valve covers in the motor pictured have four hold-down bolts each. Thanks in advance for comments and education.
