Cool Avanti!

[mfg]

What would be the biggest difference between a Studebaker Avanti engine cooling system, and comparable year Studebaker Lark or Hawk engine cooling systems?

[Gunslinger]

Horizontal flow vs vertical flow…the Avanti had side tanks and other Studes had top and bottom mounted tanks.

let's not forget the expansion tank.

That is a difference, however, we were looking for the BIGGEST difference!

By "biggest" are you referencing the volumes of the cooling systems?

[Gunslinger]

The Avanti radiator is set at an angle where the Hawk and Lark radiators are mounted vertical.

Nope…. Perhaps I should have used the term ‘major difference’?….. but anyway, the answer was the radiator changes.
