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.

Until 1963, Studebaker engines were sequentially numbered within each series.  Beginning with the 1963 model year, they were dated as of the date of assembly, so more than one engine could have the same engine number. The V8 engine table lists the FIRST/STARTING engine number for each year and model series.  There is no way the table can list all possible engine numbers.  Studebaker-V-8-Engine-Identification.pdf
