Thanks for the info. I'm going to pick a cover that has a drain plug so I won't need to drill the housing. I am not sure I need the bearing cap...
I have a Chevy 10-bolt with an 8.5 inch ring gear from a '78 Nova. It's time to replace the gasket so I have been looking at aftermarket covers...

I've verified that the driven speedo gear in my 700R4 is broken. It looks like it should only take a couple of minutes to replace. When I remove...
Pics!!!! This is the second decade of the 21st century. You should be posting pictures of the engine before you even get it home!
Bob Bourke, who designed the original 1953, offered several designs for the 1955 that he preferred over the chrome snout. Some are on display at...
It didn't look too good when it was raining at 7:30AM. The clouds didn't clear out til noon. I think that kept a few cars away. There were good...
Thanks, Aluminum it is.
I've been looking for a set of snap-on moon disks. While I want the original look, I see some are offered in stainless steel. They all use the...
I just got a brand new one from Studebaker International for, gulp, $375. On the plus side, it's a perfect repop. My understanding is that you...
We use PAM (actually the store brand -- we are cheap) and it does a good job of keeping the salt off. Afterwards we stop for a quick wash from...
Huge Studebaker only swap meet next Friday and Saturday (May 2nd & 3rd) at the St. Joseph County fairgrounds. We drive out from Minnesota for...

I like the Stude trucks, too. I have a '47 M5 with a Stude 259 swapped into it.
You want the Turner Brake kit.
I'll tell you what the Lucky Bastards were REALLY lucky about -- the weather. If the show had been a week earlier there would have been people...
I'll be there when it opens!
Let's see some pictures of that truck!
I clicked on Video in that URL and it worked fine.
Nice! Did you make any suspension changes? I put conventional shocks on mine but kept the straight axle and it handles just great on the...

The bigmouth design is really interesting. A big challenge will be getting to the .650 lift. Most Stude cams struggle to get over .500. I'm...
The hardtops and coupes (C/K's) interchange just about everything even between the Champions(6's) and Commanders(8's). The Sedans (4dr and 2dr...

Yeah... except I don't thing they made any Studebaker engines in 1965. The stopped manufacturing them in 1964. Should be a full-flow block (you...
