I finally checked the engine number, 536180 (with a #2 below it), and
it looks like the engine indeed belongs in a 9G '50 Champ.

Can anyone confirm/clarify for me?
Thanks again!
Thanks, Dwain. The number is 626,211. A '50 9G engine, right?
Thanks, Dwain. An amazingly precise answer to my question. I
appreciate your time and thoughtful response. The process of
researching our Champ has started a fire in me to evangelize the
Studebaker brand - a great history and a great automobile.
Best regards,
Jason
