nice job. looks like a stock oil filter. I bet that SBF weighs the same as the six did. What trans are you using? Those AOD's are a dime a dozen and would be great with the overdrive and low first gear. 85 to 94, I'm pretty sure are the best years. 95 went to computer controlled electric solenoids.

Ford used a very short oil filter on the 1975-78 Mustang II V6 I believe..........which as the same thread diameter/pitch/gasket as a 302 (289)

Borrowed Bams50's sigline here:

"Do they all not, by mere virtue of having survived as relics of a bygone era, amass a level of respect perhaps not accorded to them when they were new?"

Nice looking job glad you use a real 289 even even if its the later Ford one as the Studebaker 289 came first The Ford engine has a lot of after market parts almost as many as the Chevy. Looks like it was worth the time and effort.

nice simple mounts. I think I'm going to use that type in my 302/40 Nash

As 52 said. You gotta upgrade the rear end to a Dana 44, the rear end for a v-8 Studebaker. The Dana 27 that comes with the 6 cyl just will not handle the torque of the v-8, unless you are really going to baby this thing. Also, get some v-8 brakes. Needs this stuff, bad.

Isn't there an 8.8 that bolts in from an explorer?
