The most beautifully styled car of the fifties, IMO. Raymond Lowey did great work.

Watch the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drags....the R2 and R3 Larks and Avanti's kick ass......and they sound Bad
-
The Studebaker 304 was an overbored 289, correct? Love to find one of those! I know, I know, good luck with that.
-
150 hp? awesome
-
@AznGunGrave and you sound like a total idiot.
-
Very cool! I still would like to have a supercharged 289 in my Stude. You're right, all the studebaker and Packard engines were pretty heavy, but very stoutly built. NIce car you have there.
-
wow big difference after the cam timing :D its amazing
-
Sweet! My 289 doesn't run like that but it does OK for being 53 years old and never having been opened up. Raymond Loewy gets far too much credit. An employee of his, Bob Bourke, designed the classic Studebaker coupes. Loewy just took the credit.

Sounds like it could really burn up the race track. I would like to see some RPM and HP figures on this mean machine.

A 289 Ford can't be bored out to over .060, young fella. But...a 289 Studebaker block could take a .125 overbore if desired, and in 1965 you could still get .125 over pistons from JC Whitney or Honest Charlie. Older engines had considerably thicker cylinder walls than ones made in the muscle-car era so that owners could be assured of 2 or even 3 trouble-free overhauls. back when car companies gave a s**t.

Right. When Studebaker designed this motor in the late 40s they thought super high compression would be the thing of the future. So they made it extremely strong. It weighs as much as a Big Block Chevy, but can only be bored to 302ci. This car was built to be unique, not just fast. And being Studebaker powered is way more interesting than a belly-button chevy motor.

Why do you put a Dyno video up, and don't tell the hp.
johnsenkenn 1 year ago
@johnsenkenn Because its not that impressive, similar to 5.0 mustang HP, but a lot more expensive HP because its Studebaker HP.

I love that exhaust note. Is Avanti the name of the glass packs? Who makes them?

The Studebaker Avanti was their sports car that came out in the early 60's. This car has the same kind of glasspack style exhaust.
