Longshot but....

[Mrelmtow]

I am looking for a 1963 Avanti R1 engine with serial number R-2182 or any information on it. I realize it is a longshot but who knows. The only thing I know about it is that the engine was removed from the car in 1972 or 73.

 RS2182 was the engine in a 1963 R-3808.

Just a bit of info: Avanti engine number RS2182 is a supercharged R2 Avanti engine.  R = Avanti, S = supercharge.  There is some info on studebaker-info.org about this car.

I am looking for R2182 (R1) which originally was in 63R-3016.

Is there another Stude (or brand "X") engine in this Avanti now?

I'm confused.  Would Studebaker, in 1963, have built two Avanti engines with the same "sequential number."  That is, would they have built R2182 AND RS2182 in 1963 ?

I don't know but according to the production order it is R2182.
