I spent a lot of time in the SF Bay Area during my hot rod "formative" years. Baylands and Half Moon Bay were the places to be in the 60's and...
Just curious here, but what is the most widely used engine for a street 41 Willis (both original and repoped bodies).
Some neat Studebaker racing history...for sale. http://www.ebay.com/itm/201296824357?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT...
Watch eBay and the Stude swap page... [IMG]
I'm over my limit on Studes and on to other hot rods now. Here are a few that I've done... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] 1954 Starliner...327/365...
I'm building an early 3.5 Rover aluminum V8 and T5 for an MGB. The Rover is the same as the 215 Buick and similar to the 215 Olds I recently...
15 x 6 Crestlines Mark II's. Made in Walnut Creek, CA, probably mid 60's. [IMG] I ran them on this Stude for 30,000 miles... [IMG] I also...
Brian, It was great to meet you Friday AM. Those Stude fins on your Cad rock! :cool: The Kart Hauler sold early Friday afternoon. It went to a...

The current HRD issue... [IMG] [IMG]
Thanks, Michael. The story behind this Ute is pretty neat. First appeared in the 1959 Oakland Roadster Show. I found the original builder and...
Here's the Kart Hauler's one minute of fame from the Hot Rod TV episode on the 2009 GNRS... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMnzF0M4B7M My...
GM's first four speed was a Borg Warner T-10. Some iron case, some aluminum case. Later they used a Super T-10...aluminum case. All T-10's were...
That STYLE of wheel cover was used from 53-55, BUT the 53 ones are unique. They have a "tri star" embossed in the center. Mercedes made...
Thin seal was first. The change was around 1974. It is only the pan that changed, so if you are putting a late pan on an early engine (for...
The serrations on the right are for the lever that a rod connects to to pull back the shaft that the throw out bearing is mounted to that dumps...
That's not at all what the bill reads. I love SEMA to death, but they seem to be trying to draw attention to themselves in the last year or two...
Love it, Allan :cool:. Studes Rule!! :D
You got it...stock back window turned upside down. Stude coupes and hardtops used the same back glass from '53-61
Good idea Michael. New Avatar!
Howdy Ledbetter. Fremont, CA. Howdy has done a couple or cars for me. He does it when he says he will do it, under 2 weeks start to finish,...
Originally a Coupe. Customized for the 1959 Oakland Roadster Show by Lee Talbot of Livermore, CA. Lee did a SUPER job!
Howdy Ledbetter. He can do no wrong. :cool:
1953 Studebaker Chippewa Green
The Ute went to the GNRS not running. I just flat ran out of time prior to the show. A couple of weeks ago, I started into wiring it, getting...
My bad. When you said you drilled the intake, I thought you meant to pick up vacuum. Sounds like you did it in an area to access only the valley...
Do your valve covers have breathers or provision for a port to the PVC? Your 350 does not have a breather built into the rear of the block like...
Actually, you can't use the valve covers with no vents (like the 327's had) on a 350....even if you have a vent on the oil filler cap on the early...
I'll be there with the Stude Kart Hauler... [IMG] This car was in the 1959 Oakland (National) Roadster Show. I've spent the last 6 months...
I don't believe you can run a 10.5 motor and probably not a 10.0 motor on pump gas without severely knocking back the timing...which would negate...
