Engine number
Studebaker employed a new engine numbering system for the 1964 year whereby any engine type built on the same day had the exact same engine number.
Engine number locations
1964 Studebaker engine numbers were always stamped into the cast iron engine blocks in the following locations:
- 6-cylinder: Stamped at the top left side front corner of the cylinder block.
- V8: Stamped on the top side front end of the cylinder block (in the middle of the block front edge).
The engine number is made up of between 4 and 5 sets of codes. The meaning of each code is summarised below. Note, the fifth code only appeared on engines destined for export.
Engine number example 1: PCD412 = 289ci V8 built on 12 April 1964.
Engine number example 2: VN3228 = 259ci V8 built 22 December 1963, and the 8th export engine built that day.
