Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / June 2007V-8 Engine ID needed
A friend is building a Studebaker V-8 powered street rod. He recently acquired a a partial-flow V-8 with a DG250-M transmission. The engine was reported to be a 232 but it has the fuel pump mounted on the side of the block. The serial number is PI6653. I'm guessing it's a 259 from 1959 but I don't know for sure. Can anyone confirm this? Bob Bob, It looks like what your friend has is a 1955 259. Studebaker used "I" for 1. http://studebakerdriversclub.com/tech_v8data.asp Jeff DeWitt > A friend is building a Studebaker V-8 powered street rod.

He described the transmission as a Borg-Warner and I was thinking it would be a Flightomatic but when I got a look at it I saw it was a DG250. That would be a late engine as the one in my '55 is only four digits. The "P" and DG250 were exclusive to 259's in 1955. I don't know if I would recommend the tranny for a street rod though...

Of course, I didn't hot rod it. So.....if ya got one....;-) John |
