Had a guy roll up in a rat rod. It has a 345 International engine in it. I mean I have had plenty of scouts and ihc pickups. I know an international engine when I see one. Says " International,time on #8 " etc on the valve covers.
So I mentioned to him that it was an unusual power plant for a rat rod... guy swears up and down that it's a Studenaker v8! So thinking I was losing it I double checked... v345 on the side of the block so its 345 International.
Guy says its the studebaker engine he personally removed from James Dean's Porche!
Huh? Ok this guy is off his rocker! I walked away at that point lol.
