Studebaker startup after 17 years

Is that fuel injected, or just some sort of wacky carburetor?

That is the stock two barrel used by Studebaker. It looks funny because it has a right angle bend. The large air cleaner would not fit under the low hood. The air cleaner tube had another right angle bend and the main body of the air cleaner sat to the side of the engine.

Great... Now slap an old McCulloch blower on that puppy!

DRIVE IT TO AUSTRALIA.

Great car! That engine sounded great once it smoothed out.. I wouldn't replace it. Besides, the car will lose half its value if you do. But great car and good luck, thanks for saving it!

My father restored Studebakers. My first memory of him is riding in a bullet nose coupe sitting on crates because there was no interior yet.

56 Power Hawk same situation. The old man who owned it hadn't driven it in years and it started up and purred like a kitten.

where would you get a studebaker engine from? they hadent made one since 63

Follow E-bay, or better yet, join the Studebaker drivers club or one of the Studebaker discussion groups. There are lots of engines available. There are a great many Studebaker parts available, some NOS. Rebuild parts for engines are readily available from several suppliers. The early V8s only bring about $50 used. the 62-64 full flow engines are harder to find and start at about$400 in rebuildable condition.

Really? that is amazingly cheap. well good luck with that.
