hadhec Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hi, 2 years ago we bought a stude that was supposed to be a goer. We got it home and we found water in the oil. So we found another block, I was pulling it down tonight to rebuild it and it has the same problem only worse. They seem to be very thin in the walls. These two blocks are rusted through where the valve springs sit up in the cavity. Can somebody please help. I would prefer a good engine then some type of repair method. I am located in Australia so would prefer one here, but I am desperate so I am open to any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mbw555 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hi, Not sure where you are in Oz but I have a spare block and many parts for a 29 Studebaker Erskine six. I'm near Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I think the Erskines were different. Could you send me some photo's? I hope I am wrong. Let me know and I will give you my email address. I am near wagga. Newcastle is no problem if the block is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeq Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 The 1927-29 Erskines used engines made by Continental and are totally different than those made by Studebaker. I believe all of the Standard Six and Dictator Six engines from 1926-28 would interchange. That is the models ER, EU and GE. The engine shown in the image below is a 1927 EU.

hadhec Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 What about a 29 dictator? There is a guy on long island with an engine for sale. The pictures look the same as mine. I don't want to go to all the cost of shipping it here though and there is some small difference, but it looks identical to me.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mbw555 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hi again, as per the notes above, the engines in the Erskine were made by continental are different to those made by Studebaker. I wont be back in Newcastle until next weekend to take photos. Regards, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbk Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 The 1928 GE engine has a fuel pump instead of the Vacuum tanklike 1927 and earlier so the block on the GE would be different.Robert Kapteyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
