nzcarnerd Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) I thought Stude fours of that era had non-detachable heads. What series is it? Pictures please. Edited May 1, 2017 by nzcarnerd (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Does this car have the gearbox in the back axle or is it in the 'normal' place behind the engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUDE48 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 You are correct that studebaker 4 cylinders were mono bloc construction on the cylinder and head. Demountable cylinder heads did not enter the studebaker line untill 1920. And the last year 4 cylinder was 1919, which was also the last year for the transaxle in studebakers. New with the hotchkiss drive in 1920 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinneyhill Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 It looks like you have the bottom half of the engine and need the top half: monoblock cylinders and head, rods and pistons and valves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If in fact you have a Series 18 vehicle as stated the crankcase shown will not fit. In this series the rear engine mounts were modified by the addition of a large circular casting bolted to the crankcase. The crankcase shown would fit a Series 17 or earlier.

rvanti2 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Art here in N Cal. I thought I contacted you about a man who might have the part you need. I do not see it listed so I guess I did not. The man who claimed to have a waterheader for my 4 cyl engine scammed me for a lot of $. He has no parts. What I need is a good waterheader to finish this engine. Would you be willing to part with one of the three that you have? I am in N Cal. Thank you. I have been working on the car for 2 years and this is the only thing holding it up from running. I will try to find your part if I can. I am a member of Antique Stude and Studebaker Drivers Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvanti2 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Could Fernando please contact me at lucky7@succeed.net about the waterheader. I see in the pictures that he has 3 and would really like to purchase one. Desperate, Art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You previously indicated that you were in Texas but I see your IP address appears to be in Mexico. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
