  • Dee-licious item FS- R1 engine!

    What a great way to start the new year- with a road trip to beautiful Ephrata, PA! If someone's thinking belated Christmas gift for me I can pick it up and give it a good home, no problem

    IIRC, we've seen this one run through the auction a couple of times in the past.

      Does anyone know the Studebaker connection with Ephrata besides this engine?

        I don't suppose John Clement Studebaker stopped at the Ephrata Diner while moving his family to Adams County, PA.?

            Still not as nice as the "new in the crate" R1 a friend of mine has sitting in his back porch...not sure that friend wants me announcing that in public...so that friend will stay annonymous by me anyway, but I was in awe staring at a brand new, complete, flywheel to fan/oil pan to air cleaner, in the crate still with the Studebaker printing on the fan belts R1 just sitting there waiting for a car/truck project.

                  I believe this is Paul Lausch's engine that he was trying to sell on the Swap pages last summer. I would not mind getting this engine but I have gathered all the parts and pieces to build an R1 myself and a machinist that owes me for my electrical labour that I have already done for him. Hopefully I will be starting my engine build in the next few weeks for our Lark convertible.

                    Looks like a nice engine but its not NOS, just a well taken care of used engine. Now if it had a 4 speed bell housing on it, then there might be some temptation.........."get behind me Satan!" LOL

                      Yes, I believe you would be correct.

                        Just adding a note for Warren Webb, that is a 4-speed bellhousing on the engine, the very same one that came in that serial number car.
