The "V" prefix indicates a 259 engine. For the U.S. market a '63 Hawk would have come with a 289 engine, but I assume that a '63 Hawk built for export could have been built with a 259 engine. The following website may help: http://www.studebakerdriversclub.com/V8EngineID.asp

All domestic/US 1963 Hawks had 289 cid V8s. 1963 Hawks for export could have a 170 cid six or a 259 cid V8.
The engine shown started as a 1963 259 cid V8. It is likely the original engine in the car. If you get the production order for your car you will know for sure.Gary L.

Is there a rather large Hole next to that small threaded screw hole next to the Serial number?
That looks like a LOT of flat surface there, there should be a Hole there for oil to drain back to the crankcase whether or not it has an Oil Fill Pipe there.
It is not a problem with the Full Flow Oil Filter on the Bottom, but it would be very unusual that it is missing.
I just can't see enough of the Block to tell for sure.StudeRich
