I seem to recall that bulletin also. I may have a copy somewhere but finding it would be more the project. According to Brian's service index, there must have been a kit. Details apparently in a Stude bulletin or two we are missing on the site.

IIRC, it was almost a direct change motor wise -- maybe an extra screw or the like but it also needed the installation of something else -- a circuit breaker, I think.

Actually brings out a point on longevity though. Even back then Packard motors were getting extinct. Downside to a Studebaker supplied motor is power windows were so few and far between on their cars. I doubt the motors would be any more plentiful than our own.
