    Studebaker's are bad ***. Here is my for some cool Stude power. The lake style header bolted to one side, I was convinced it was for a Studebaker when I picked them up. Probly just being optimistic. They are close but def don't fit the head. Must be caddilac. I dont need them if anyone has a need for caddilac lake headers....

    Thank you.
    I asked you a question based on what you posted, and did not get an answer.
    No sweat on my end.
    I will still search for the answer to this age old question.
    "What is the verified connection between the Studebaker V8 engine and the Cadillac V8 engine"
    So far there has been no true answer.
    Have a great day!

    Those headers are cool.
    The mount bolts on the Caddy heads are on the opposite diagonal that the Stude heads have.

    Yeah I realized that when I got home with them. If they weren't so nice and the chrome so good I'd slice them up and make them work.

    Back in 1966 just before I went to serve Uncle Sam My uncle brought over a buddy of his with a genuine Studellac by Bill Frick. In addition to the Caddy engine it had a Jaguar four speed, a Lincoln rear axle and Lincoln brakes adapted to the front also. It had a leather padded roof and leather pads on the outside of the door tops. It also had Chrome Dayton wires on it. He wanted $75.......And I p***ed on it.
