No disrespect, but - Where?I can get a supercharger off of a newer GM 3.8 for $50. I wouldn't pay $1000 for that thing.
The cheapest Stude ever made. Looked like a cross between a Ford & Chevy. 196 cu.in. flathead six. I bought it for $200.00 off the original owner. It smoked so bad, I could only drive it at night. Tried a tube of JC Whitney's "Piston Seal and Ring Restorer" and it fouled the plugs...bastards...A '58 Studebaker Scotsman? Really?
You *are* a thrifty SOB, aren't you. (I love Studes.)
I was always impressed by the 32V DOHC V8 Studebaker was developing (but never quite perfected) before the demise of the company............The cheapest Stude ever made.

I had a bunch of Studebakers, the one I wish I'd of kept was the '53 Raymond Lowey Coupe. Had a V8. (Stude had an OHV V8 in 1951, 4 years before GM).
This month's Sport and Exotic Car magazine has a neat article on the car Studebaker co-developed with Porsche. Flat air-cooled 6, etc.I was always impressed by the 32V DOHC V8 Studebaker was developing (but never quite perfected) before the demise of the company............
Apparently Stude was in their last throes, but didn't know it yet. They wanted an aircooled car for some reason. Porsche did virtually all the design work, and plans were made to build in Wisconson (I think). Anyhoo, that was about the time the company was failing and was subsequently bought out. It was a goofy looking car, as, IMHO, most of the cars of that era were.Studebaker-Porsche connection? Andy Granatelli's spinning at about 10,000 rpm as we speak! (type?)
