Would you restore it to original or put a fat set of wheels on it
Captain Studebaker? How about an R3 engine?

It would most likely have a "hopped up" Stude straight 8 in it.

I was debating what I would do. It is such a rare car the Stude guys
would hate you if you modified it.

ROFLMAO!!! Like any of us "heathens" have enough $$ to buy that
thing...and then pay for parts to make it a REAL Hot Rod!

No frugal Stude guy is gonna pay over $30K for a car that needs
restored...those bidders are looking at "investment" potential and
won't mind paying $70,000 for a restoration. Of course, it COULD be
Chip Foose bidding on it...looking for something to turn into next
years Ridler Award winner! :)

A 245 from a truck would drop right in... would be a little easier to
hop up than a President 8. Not much though... but I do seem to recall
seeing an aluminum head on eBay a while back.
