Yes!… I had the R3/R4 and Skybolt Six oil breather cap as they are all of a larger diameter than regular V8….. Not sure on interchange of rocker arms or the oil pump gears… but I’ll take your word for it!

Kind of surprise R4892 isn’t on George Krem’s ‘first’ list!
-
Good question…..Width wise no problem…. Length wise I’m not so sure!
-
Huh????????
-
Quite a list of ‘firsts’ here… Thank you!… Good trivia material!!

During a HRM Engine Masters Challenge a few years ago, a 374 CI Packard V8, normally aspirated, achieved 449 horsepower and 444 lbs. ft. of torque …. And to think Studebaker had this big block engine, for a time, at their disposal!!

These days a Studebaker Avanti’s original straight thru exhaust system would probably be considered quiet compared to the racket some of the current hi-po cars (and motorcycles) make!!

Well done!

That’s all I have to say on this matter.

Because you sometimes behave like a child Bob… and after this do not defame others without producing the evidence ‘up front’!

Dwight… still wondering what else made it necessary for Studebaker to shim up the bodies of their R3 Avantis besides engine to hood clearance?
-
Sherwood Egbert definitely had a lot on his mind at the time….. His health, Trying to ‘right’ a sinking ship, Union problems, Etc.
-
Good question!… I’d guess they are… and I’d say they could be considered part of the “engine oiling system” Not really what I’m looking for though! HINT…. Let’s add some oil!!!!

Thank you Murph…. Seeing factual documentation is much fairer to the accused than accepting the word of a man known to be a ‘loose cannon’, seldom backing up his comments.

Provide evidence of this union man’s “firing” !
