Non-Avanti Eights!

[mfg]

What item (i.d.) does a '63 non-Avanti 289 Studebaker V8 have in common with the '31 Hunt Spl. Studebaker Indy engine?

(Besides both being 8 cyl, made of cast iron, use spark plugs, etc!!)

Good thought...and I can't say your answer is wrong,

but it's not exactly the answer I was looking for.

CLOSE ENOUGH!... Both engine serial numbers ( I.D.) started with the letter 'P'....

I the case of the '31, the 'P' stood for PROVING GROUND!
