  1. Thanks for the responses above. 

    From those, I assume the cast in number at the right corner of the block isn't helpful. 

    Given that this mystery motor is married with the supercharger and a 4-speed and that the car was at one time used for racing, is there any chance that it could be an R-3?

    Needless to say, I appreciate your thoughts.

  2. I have a 1963 supercharged Avanti with what a believe to be a replacement engine.  It has the same stamped numbers as the block that Tim G is writing about (see photo attached to this post).   Is it possible to confirm that this is a Studebaker block?  The 3.6" bore on Tim G.'s block conforms to what I read for specifications of the original 289 R-2 engine.  

    Were the originally installed engines stamped with unique serial number?  If so, where would I locate it?

    If indeed mine is a replacement, would it have a unique serial number and if so where?
