If you have a number that you are trying to match, check both numbers. If you hve a number, post it here and we will tell you if it is a S/N or engine no.Gary L.

California requires TWO numbers be seen.
The one on the door post plus the one at the rear crossmember.
Lay on the ground, head under the car feet sticking out to the rear on the right side.[passenger]
You may have to remove the pan under the rear bumper to see it.
Light sanding will help to see it, if it hasn't rusted off. The factory didn't stamp the numbers in very deep.
It's on the flange of the crossmember.South Lompoc Studebaker

I checked the door post and looked for a number on the engine, found nothing except a casting # on the head. Will check rear cross member next.
The vin # on the old title is H422939.

The number you posted is the engine serial number. Many states used the engine number for title purposes in those years. Look for a 1/2" X 2" smooth pad at the top, front, left side of engine block and see if the number is the same. You may want to clean the pad off real well and make a pencil 'rubbing' of the engine number.
The car serial number plate should be located down low on the door lock post , just a few inches above the sill plate. Probably a seven digit number beginning with a '4'. The rear serial number is hard or impossible to find on many cars. If this is a CA car, you stand a better than average chance of finding it.D 'N Q RACE ENGINES
