This brought back some memories. I've had 7 Studebakers, and I have torn down and rebuilt 2 Studebaker V8 engines. I had a 61 Lark 2 door sedan with a 6. The oil filter blew apart on the freeway and ruined the engine. It was rated at 112 hp, but I think some of those horses escaped the barn. I wound up putting a 390 engine and 4 speed Hydromantic transmission from a wrecked 1960 Cadillac in the car. It was fun and fast.
I just bought a 289 cloverleaf motor for my '62 Lark Daytona convertible. I'm planning on using a T5 and somebody erroneously swapped the TT rear end for a Ford 9". Medford Oregon!
More cubes than a 259 and this one is a “full flow” block which means that all the oil flows through the filter. Earlier Stude V8s only filtered whatever oil happened down a certain passage that put it through the filter.
Thank you for the take-apart. Looking forward to the put-together.
Magnolia Street Productions thanks! Hopefully I’ll get to that in the coming weeks after I get all the parts I need! Thanks for watching!

Those 289 Studs are great engines. They are stout torquey engines that last. Not a hot rod engine, just a good little V8.
What’s the advantage and what can you do with the 289 I have a few of them and working on 59 hawk super charged motor
