don,

thanx for that info; i'm starting a file for stuff like that. the engine's a sure thing, now to see if i can talk my step-son out of his crosley! if not...the search will continue.

ed,

i remembered that GMC used olds engines back then. i have an aguaintence who has a '38 olds coupe with a busted original engine. he wants to go the 350-350 route...yuck!

hectic,

i've been on more obscure campaigns than this! i once had a german ford taunus that i ended up making most of my own speed equipment for....so a studebaker shouldn't be more difficult than that!
i've got a Model A with a 181 ci Mercruiser 4-banger; that proves that i'm following a different drummer! i'll post my final decision and progress as a new project unfolds.


Lord, let me live long enough to do all the projects I have planned!
