Everyone overlooks the old Studebaker 289 V-8's. They came from the factory with forged steel cranks, timing gears, and high nichol blocks. They where healthy engines that stood up to the supercharging. They also dress up very nicely with offy covers and 3 duce setups. I know the Studebaker has gone by the way, but my next one will be all Studebaker. Not the 350 chevy roller engine I now have.
