ENGINE NUMBER IDENTIFICATION

[Rick Allen]

Not sure if I should be posting this here or not, I'm trying to identify this engine number, I know it's not an Avanti engine block,  I'm thinking it's a 259 block but not sure what the year is, I do have a chart with Studebaker V8 engine numbers but I can't seem to locate this particular number.

I'm reading it as P75672 if anyone can ID it?,,,

‘P’ Studebaker V8’s were all (non-Avanti) 289’s… excepting for  1955 Stude President 259 V8 engines, whose serial numbers also began with a ‘P’.

It's a 289 from a 1961 Hawk, Cruiser or Marshal.

The full flow blocks started production in April, 1962.
