Stude V8 Swap?

[mfg]

Here’s some food for thought…..

Over the years many Studebaker Avantis have had Chevy engines swapped into them…. Has anyone ever heard of a Studebaker V8 being swapped into an Avanti ll?

I have to say, that would be counter intuitive. 

The Chev SB engine comes in soooo many combinations whereas the Studie Avanti only had 2 options, and both based on the 289.

To me, the Chev engine and its options are the superior choice.... to downgrade seems futile. to go. thru all the changes (motor mounts and multiple other changes) seems senseless. 

I say that and I currently own a stock '63' R2.... (but also a '02' model which is an LS1 based engine.)

Oh how I regret not doing that to my RQA.....
