Back in highschool the teacher was cleaning out the stash of engines we had. He wanted us to put it in the scrap dumbster out back. I told him that I would just take it home. Everything from the fan to the output shaft on the transmission is there. Including the original air cleaners.
Well we don't have plans for it yet. I was thinking a rat rod project. But who knows I have about a dozen other projects to do first.
good save man! just a heads up though, i personally dont care what peole call thier rods, but some on here will give you shit for using the phrase rat rod. just a heads up...
hey if my memory is correct the engine size is stamped on the head or the side of the block. i also beleive hudson called it twin h power and it was only for the hornet . i think...its been a while for me with hudson history..but cool score
Just a suggestion..... 1) Buy a Hudson, (Hornet, Jet, or Terraplane ) 2) Install Twin H engine 3) Drive, and have fun.
OilSlinger is totally right. Sadly there are some kids on here that think everything written on here is their sandbox. I like to think of myself as the cat next door. Just remind them, its your score, in your garage and going in your car, you call it any god damn thing you want. Be the cat in the sandbox. And just a note, Bob The Ferret is a funny mofo!
We sure that's not a Mopar or even Studebaker six instead? Intake doesn't look like the Edmunds twin-carb Hudson intake I have, not enough ports. 262 isn't a lot different from the 308, have one in my '49. Unless it's the really small one, I have one of those too but haven't looked at it much. Is that an iron intake or aluminum?
Since he lives in my hometown, I call first dibs on his kidneys...those suckers are going for $20 grand now! Napalm, please post your name, address, and time of day when said kidneys can be accessed without interference from large dogs or hostile women. Or, for that matter, hostile dogs or large women.
From what I have researched the 232 and 262 share the same block where the 308 has a differnt block. The 308 has 6 intake and 6 exhaust ports. Where the smaller engines have 6 intake and 4 exhaust. The block has a 308 cast into it but the exhaust ports are the same configuration as the smaller engine. Well if you know where the East Bluff is come get one. I only need one to function anyway.
A BIG Atta Boy!!! Man what a rare mill, just the original air cleaners have to be super hard to find. Love it when the yiung guns are hip to the trip!!~Sololobo~
A BIG "ATTA BOY"!! Love it when the young guns are hip to saving the historic mills!! That is not a every day find, plus the orig carb set up with the cool orig air filters!! Super save pal. Very proud of you!!~Sololobo~
What bugs me is that someone who is presumed to be knowledgable about automobiles [shop teacher] was just going to chuck it into the junk dumpster. If I were you, I'd wait about a week, and then tell your teacher that you sold it on ebay, and it turned out to be an ultra rare nascar version of the hudson 308, and it sold for $47,567.63... Then before he has a chance to pick his jaw up off the floor, ask him if he would like you to haul away any more old junk from his shop! Good score, but IMHO, that mill belongs in a hudson. If your gonna rat-rod something, do it with a cheap-azz smogger SBC or SBF
FYI..Hudson did offer a very few Twin-H equipped engines in the Jet series in '53 or '54. Not the same block as the Wasp/Commodore/Hornet cars but a much smaller 202 cu.in. flathead six. I was given a Jet coupe back in the early 70's by one of my wife's cousins from Philly that had that setup.
Korn Flakes; Any chance you can measure the distances between each port on your intake or block...like to the center of each one? The reason I ask is that it looks like it may fit my early Nash. Then I could look for one if I knew it would be close. Thanks
