Huge thanks to everyone that watched the Instant Premier of this one! It's odd watching something you shot before you got the hang of everything, it's almost like I'm watching for the 1st time with you all.... lol.
Studebaker had many interesting innovations. Its too bad they didn't survive as a car company, I'm sure there'd be neat stuff they would have introduced in cars today.
This is back in the days of (super crappy) gas, so 8-1 compression was pushing it so these are stroked way down (like all the early pig iron engines of early 50's). This same block and head design stayed with them to the end, and they just stroked it out as gas got good enough to handle more compression, ending with 289 cubes in 1962 (Studebaker not Chevy), but by that time all the Big Guys had dropped these Heavy Iron Blocks in favor of the lighter ones with higher nickel in them. So Studebaker was left with buying left over Chevy 289;s in the end just to fill out their last contracts before closing the doors on Vehicle productions.
1951 232, 1 cube over a US gallon. Yeah. Died 1966 as a 289, after being briefly enlarged to 304. NASCARs current standard bore center is the same, and the Stromberg 2bbl WW, which continued being built in Australia till 1979 in the last 118 HP net 4.2 liter Holden V8. The Australians kept inventory for these old engines till well after the Canadian Lark versions with Chevy engines. AMI screwed them together for years as Canuck imports. Anyway, you'd be surprised how easy it is to track down V8 parts.
I'd heard that they actually kept going down there for quite a while but getting stuff over here from there is tough as nails. Good Stuff Dean! You are the "Kiwi Mag" for sure. 👍
@@BareRoseGarage Best sources for information were the late Bill Tuckey/ Romsey Quints and Noel Tuckey/ George Ambrose from Australian Wheels Magazine, and Dr John Wright from the same publication, but John works with Shannon's now. Videos and Australian Muscle Car. Lots of good written info that Steve Mags has talked about. The Pedr Davis Hey Charger book on Aussie Mopar cars also puts the old Valiant's into context with other import cars in the market place. All the great info is taken from an Antipodean book😁
Great video! But like you it will better suit someone who is restoring one! I believe if I had a Studebaker I'd rather have it like Wild rose garages! Thanks for sharing!
I found an older Cannon Vixia HF R200 on Ebay for under $100 with the bag, and lots of extras. Personally I like Cannon the best, because it shoots in true HD, and it's the only name brand that offers an external mic jack in all most all their models. Also I like Camcorders. They are small, and dedicated to Video Quality. The only thing I don't like about this one..... it's a touch screen. My hands are usually covered in nasty, so me and touch screens don't get along to well... lol.
I actually have the resolution turned down for a lot of my videos, because this little camcorder does too good of a job for my computer in the house. If I shoot in it's full resolution it looks Great! but I can't edit it, or my computer messes it up.... lol. One of these days I'll get a computer that can handle this cheap camera now lol.
Sad but true....... but it takes some of the sting out to know I still have the car it came from, unlike the 1963 Dodge 440 that had to go to pay for the power pole to get electricity to the shop.....

Neat little motor. They were ahead of their time 👍🏻
They sure were!
Love Studis
Me too!
🌹
UP!
Very good
Thanks Warkop RBT! and that's some pretty cool stuff you have going on as well man!
I flip quite a bit myself when I’m building up things - great sources of cash
It's the name of the game for sure...... but this would've looked so nice in a little open engine Rat Rod.... oh well.

Amen to that. 👍
good video. I don't know much about them but have been told they were great for the time.

You know a thing or two.

Oh yeah, and it's a sweet little truck that it's going into. When I make it back over to Kurt's place I'll shoot some video of that build as well.
My 54 Commander Coupe has the original 232. It will NEVER get a Chev. small block as long as I live.
Yeah, I was sure sad to see this one go, still stings a bit.
What did you get for a new camera? Video and sound are great.
