As stated above -the 6 ia basicaly the I 8 less 2 cylinders.
Rated at 100 hp. There was a option for an aluminium cyl.head.

I'm very happy with my six ! Smooth, quite, very powerful(loads of torque) and very dependable !

As for maintenance- basic service -oil changes, valve adjustments and tune ups. All parts are available .

Had mine rebuilt 2 years ago for $4300.00 including all machine work and parts. It has always had 45 psi oil pressure,cold or hot.(broken ring land was the reason for the rebuild)

I also have Studebaker Champ 6's .You can sure tell the difference when drive one then the other !
