don't see many around for replacement

I don't know about your locale, but there are often 169 engines available for hauling. It seems many folks replace them with V8s.

If you ask here, you probably will find two or three. I know where there's one in Ohio, but that's too far for paying freight.

....or maybe SI has NOS fitted blocks still..

[Tom Bredehoft]

Yes, SI has bins full of blocks, don't know about all the hardware to go with them but they sure have the blocks.

FWIW- John's Salvage in Seguin has a couple of Stude V8's. Didn't ask about 6's, but he has several 50's, so maybe.
John's not a computer guy, you can call him at 830 303 9300.
Afterthought - maybe you bought it from John, he had a pretty good one.

You need to talk to this Studebaker Friend Mark Frank, Owner of MDS Engine Service 15156 S. IH-35 Bruceville, TX. 254-857-8545
Or would you like to buy another one? I have one in Harlingen, Tx
