Ok This car has sat for almost 50 years. It only has 65k original miles on it.
I have my disc brakes in and working and the engine runs pretty good. Then I find out it over heats after running for a bit so I replaced the thermostat and water pump to make sure they were ok after that long wait to drive.
I'm now guessing I have a head gasket leak. I also need to replace a few leaky frost plugs. and have the radiator repaired for a few small cracks.
All of which is no big deal to fix.
My question is Im thinking of pulling the engine and having it rebuilt. Just to clean it up and fix the issues so I'm not surprised later with other issues later.
What can I expect to pay for a rebuild? I also will go with a higher compression head and bigger valves.
Does anyone know a good Studebaker knowledgeable, re builder in the Minneapolis Mn area?
