1454217	2018-10-09 01:42:00	OK - the red one is a Studebaker Hawk. A somewhat limited production car from a company 'way out in front of most every other manufacturer until they built the 1959 Studebaker Lark - a grand flop! 9072	SurferJoe46 (51)

1454221	2018-10-09 03:56:00	I follow Wayne Carini and his mechanic mate Roger on Chasing Classic Cars. Some neat cars at events like at Concurs/Elegance. Been there? In California I think. Sometimes the carbs would need fixing on purchased cars. Some had too many carbs/barrels - dunno why.	kahawai chaser (3545)
1454222	2018-10-09 05:20:00	This one (below) has a 327 Chevy in it with the very rare Fuel Injected style "Power-Pack" heads and their huge 2 . 02" Intakes and 1 . 94" Exhaust valves . 9074 9076 The bolt pattern on the front of the head (the one that we can actually see) - is a truck type arraignment - in that trucks need a little more support for the accessories that hang out there on brackets - they have larger bolts and deeper threads for structural security and to make sure that the heads don't crack and leak for all the extra truck-weight on them . If these were passenger heads, then there'd be another 3/8"x 16 tpi threaded bolt hole out near to the lower edge of the head - down near and under the bracket that is holding the brackets for the alternator here - to support the alternator (on late models) and the generator (on early models) . GM alternators do NOT mount that high! This is a somewhat un-neat - weak installation that I'd change to an under-the-block-on-the-driver's-side to hide the alternator . I can see a lot of room for that to work . The factory heat shields for the plugs are also missing . Points off! It also has the "Ram Horn" exhaust manifolds that were touted to be about as good as you can get for exhaust scavenging as an expensive set of headers might give you . The left manifold (visible) was designed for an alternator, and not with a generator mount . That's a dead giveaway for the value of these stock factory headers!!!!! It also has an automatic transmission - can you tell why? The engine is a passenger car block, because I do not see the oil dipstick on this side of the engine where a truck block (much more valuable in the 327 and 283s blocks for the much thicker cylinder walls) dipstick would be . I suspect it (the dip stick) is hiding behind the carb and we cannot see it on the other side . I also see the 'shorty' water pump with the threaded outlet (the square-drive 1/2" pipe plug on top of the pump) that was needed in the Corvette of 1962-3 since the factory Fuel Injection got in the way of the heater hose outlet that normally lives on the intake manifold . The shorty water pumps were in trucks and not passenger cars . Cars had a long radiator shroud and the pump was longer in the shout and it had to reach a lot further forward that the trucks and/or Corvettes . You can see the 5/8" heater hose coming out of the manifold, running under the fuel filter if you look closely . This means that it has an aftermarket intake manifold and judging by the height of it, it is prolly an Offenhauser or Weiand . It's painted Chevrolet Engine Moly-Orange to hide it - but the aluminum casting was so ugly on those brands anyway that painting it was always a good option . The chrome valve covers are pretty close to the original Chevrolet 'Low ratio" style that had the 1 . 24:1 or 1 . 35:1 ratio rocker arms under them . If there were the bigger ratio rockers (1 . 66:1, 1 . 78:1, 1 . 88:1 or 2 . 00:1), then the covers would have to be higher or live with rocker collision bumps sticking up on the tops of the covers! The crankcase also has no KV nor does it have a CV-side to it for emission controls (commonly called a "crankcase ventilation system - w/a PCV and all that) . The tip off is the open vented (illegal) oil filler cap on the left valve cover - and there should be a PCV in place of it, and another (but) a sealed cap would be on the other side of the engine in that situation . Just thought you;d like to know . :) Somebody ruined a perfectly nice Studi here with the abortion of puttin' a Chevy engine in it . I love Chevies - but the Studi engine is ala' Cadillac --->in that the designer of the Studi engine was also the Cadillac engine designer! His name was Kettering and he also invented the electric starter for automobiles for which he got a $50 bonus . He quit General Motors over that and went to Studebaker - a bad move if you ask me even with the cheap bonus and all - he had a much better chance of making it big in GM than Studi . . . which failed in about 1960 or so with the Avanti - a bigger failure than the Lark . I'd love me an Avanti though 9075 Let me see if I can post those pixs now - this site is one of the worst sites I visit for posting pixs . Most sites let one either drop a pix into the text or c/p the link and the pix magically appears! Yeah! Magically! This, however, may take an act of God to make it work . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Well ---------------- I can see this isn't gonna work . :mad: UPDATE -----> I think I did it! I had to download them into a folder, then send them to my DropBox account, and then send them to my Google+ account, and then send them to my email address where I could download them again and POW! There they were! :waughh:	SurferJoe46 (51)
