The answer is no. The R-5 was not even carburated.It used fuel injection parts from a Cessna engine. I believe it had 2 seperate log type manifolds .One for each cylinder bank. I have info on this in a Dick Datson book ,"How to HotRod the Studebaker V-8" .He has pictures in there of it. If you know anyone with a copy of the book have a look at it. Maybe with todays computer fuel management systems connected to an R-5 it would have broken the magic 200 mph mark ? > > Did Granatelli use an R4 intake to build the R5? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > at it. Maybe with todays computer fuel management systems connected to > an R-5 it would have broken the magic 200 mph mark ? There is a Studebaker motor in the Speedway Motors Museum in Lincoln Nebraska that looks like that. If that motor is an R5 we will know in a couple of weeks as there is a tour though the museum scheduled during the SDC Internation Meet in Omaha.

Hi, I thought Andy modified a Bendix injection unit from a Novi engine for the R-5 fuel delivery. jack Bendix injection units were used on aircraft primarily. -- wf. > > > Did Granatelli use an R4 intake to build the R5? > > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > jack Signaturewf.

He told me that they had researched the numbers on it and they determined that the intake manifold was cast in 1961 (??).

Is that directly date readable or was there a cross reference? SignatureLark Parker I had one for several years, bought it and the carbs from Paxton 35+ years ago. However I had to get the prints for the linkage and choke heater from SASCO in South Bend. I fabricated all of that and had a complete assembly sitting on the bench. Never installed, finally sold it to somebody, dunno who at this late date, but I would recognize the assembly if I ever saw it again. Probably still have those prints somewhere. The R4 used a different accelerator pedal to bellcrank rod too. Made that even. Still have it I think. The air cleaner usually seen with the R4 is a Chevy unit, as that is what was finally supplied by AC to Stude. Originally Stude was to have their own design, but they canceled that order with AC and took the off-the-shelf unit. -- wf. > Never laid a eye on one of these, just the repro's. > > http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ36474QQihZ001QQitemZ1 10029563855 > -- > 51 Commander Signaturewf. John Poulos says... >Never laid a eye on one of these, just the repro's. JP/Maryland How can I tell if it is a repro or an original? Are the repros significantly different in appearance from that one?

Only repros I've seen were semi-finished, but they looked very similar. Unlike the single 4bbl repros, the R4 repros actually do have a functional exhaust heat passage. nate Signaturereplace "fly" with "com" to reply. http://home.comcast.net/~njnagel The repro casting is much rougher and unfinished looking and needs some touch up machining. BTW, someone hit $1000 BIN. > John Poulos says... >> Never laid a eye on one of these, just the repro's.
