Mrelmtow Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 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. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverstude Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 RS2182 was the engine in a 1963 R-3808. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight FitzSimons Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) 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. --Dwight Edited November 9, 2022 by Dwight FitzSimons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfg Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 Is there another Stude (or brand "X") engine in this Avanti now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight FitzSimons Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 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 ? --Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
