Hurriedly yestereve i was able to find a table of head milling specifications from ca 1954. For the 1940-1949 Studebaker Champion, .085 off the head would raise the compression ratio to 7.5:1. For the 1950-1953 Champ, .050 would get the same 7.5:1.
i am surely among those who would find a modified Studebaker six in a light chassis something to admire. We should be encouraging work with all kinds of inlines--Packards, Hudsons, Chryslers, Nashes, Oldsmobiles (i have a '36 in the shed), Pontiacs, Buicks, Fords, and all. These projects are much more interesting to me than the cookie-cutter 350-350 in a fibreglass body. i have been trying over time to assemble a library of documentation for modifying these engines. i'll see what else i have for the Studebaker.
God's Peace to you.
