Re: Chevy engines in Studebakers??

The last year or 2, Studebakers were built in the Canadian Studebaker plant after the South Bend plant closed. With no foundry or engine assembly line, they were forced to buy engines. They tried different ones but the Chev worked out best. They were actually supplied by McKinnon Industries, a company that made engines for Chevrolet of Canada.

So yes, a 1965 or 66 Studebaker came with a Chev engine either a six or V8.
