tanda62 Posted September 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Got the oil pan on and I must be living right as it went on pretty smoothly with a nice squish on the cork. Also took a pic before covering up and it still amazes me how new this engine looks inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanda62 Posted September 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 They came from Studebaker International along with gaskets. However nuts and stud seals did not come with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Breather Tubes (caps not included). 801459 https://www.parts123.com/parts123/dyndetail.pta?catalog=0001003a&uKeY=AAIMI Edited September 12, 2022 by Leo B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanda62 Posted September 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Leo, The Valve covers are the ones I got however the valley cover is not. I got my valley cover from O'Briens Truckers but will not be using it as it sits to close to the distributor hole not allowing the distributor to be seated. I cannot speak to the valley cover from Studebaker International but it looks like it would be a good one. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rufcar Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) my 63 has those same covers. If you have an R2 you need to manipulate all the blower components in order to fit. I also had to make up a spacer for under the blower bracket and then use a threaded rod inside the nut to make it all fit properly. It is due to the fact the original cover was rounded and it had room. No its raised with a square edge and you need to adjust every part to make it all fit. On the attachment you can see the bolt hole and this is after some manipulation of parts. I do have sitting on the proper bracket underneath too which attaches to the header bolt. I bought a threaded adapter and turned to round and cut it fit underneath. Then I used the acorn bolt with a threaded roc to attach after moving it all again. I have thin rubber 1x1" sq under the oil breather as it sits tight to the fender. yes I know thats not the correct breather hose but i know this one fits.
