Really nice looking car. Did you notice that in the 9 years the 350 has been in it hasnly gotten 510 miles. That kind of thing really kills the arguement for swapping to a more repairable engine. If I owned a car like that it wouldn't stay as nice, but it would have a lot more miles."In the heart of Arkansas."

How hard and expensive would it be to find a Studebaker Engine and transmission (auto or 4Spd) to put back into the car. I assume it should not be difficult task. But the other questions are about finding the proper accessories for the Studebaker Engine (generator, Power steering, etc.P

I have every thing , but why? so many 62 GT's out there with the right set why change it back ? good running and nice looking hawk, nothing wrong with a SBC engine, in fact Studebaker liked them that they used them in the 65-66 cars, buy it drive it and enjoy it.Candbstudebakers

[QUOTE=Roscomacaw;636969]Once the board had decided to end auto production - and do so in a manner that wouldn't result in a bunch of lawsuits from dealers - the GM engines were a matter of convenience more than choice. They were looking for the EASIEST solution since the marque's foundry operation was closing. [/QUOTECon
convenience is still part of the reason they are used still now.Candbstudebakers
