Craig]]> 308 in place of a 212? http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/117267/308-in-place-of-a-212 Tue, 22 Dec 2009 01:43:05 +0000 66patrick66 117267@/forum/discussions


I know the 308 is longer, but I do not know how much so. I think this would be a great swap, with an engine that would easily make double the horsepower of the 212. Ideas? Real-world experience out there? Anyone know the weight difference between a 308 Twin-H and a 212, both complete?

I purchased the Pridemore disc kit a few years ago and am just getting to my 49 hopefully this month. My plans changed and I was going to use a GM G-body sub frame on the front instead. Something like a 84 El Camino. I had a line on one for two months and they guy flaked on me. 3rd time a Craigslist guy has dumped on me in the last month. I'm tired of it...



Now I’m pissed and scrambeling to find another frame, They are very hit or miss to find up here because all the G-bodies get burned up in race cars up here.



So I am planning on putting one of my 454’s in my 49 and I have 10 days off in three weeks and would like to start on the front, I’m scrambling to find another frame but it’s not looking good. Then I thought I do have the Pridemore kit……



So any advice will be of help. After the GF moving out, out of money, I’m pulling my hair out and need to start on some Hudson metal to get my mind off of it all.



Question #1. I have searched a lot and can’t find much on a G-body subframe swap in a step down. I would like any info, rumors, hearsay whatever on the swap..



#2 This will not be a show car, I am doing a 2 door conversion and a motor swap to get it on the road next summer (the 2 door swap may wait if I can get the front end figured out and make it driveable)



#3 Would you guys skip the subframe swap and stick the Pridemore kit under it and call it good?



My main problem is the steering components make it hard to figure out how to stuff a Gm motor in there, is there a Rack and Pinion that I can swap or reverse the spindles and make this a front steer?



Or option #4 is to jump off a bridge. I



have 3 other cars going right now and I am going to stop and focus on the 49, but I'm still not sold on the stock suspension or should I be?]]> Modified '40 Hudson Pickup - on eBay http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/116140/modified-03940-hudson-pickup-on-ebay Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:27:26 +0000 46HudsonPU 116140@/forum/discussions
Not sure of the seller's thoughts or concept on this one, IMO it does not 'flow' too well. Must not have had much left of the bed, as it appears to be from another make (Ford?).

No idea what the nose looks like - no photos of it (?)...

I didn’t want to jump on the conversion thread started by Chez.



I was hoping for some input on my 4 door conversion idea.



I have "2 door" doors already and was thinking to go at the 2 door conversion differently than is being done by Chez. I was going to move the B pillars back, use the 2 door doors, and then build a rear window area and use the skins from the previous rear doors to graph onto the quarters. I am wondering if this approach has been done and if I’m missing something. My measurements seem to make me think this will be a easier approach rather than stretching the front doors. The doors from the 2 door are from a sedan not a coupe so my thought is they should in theory “fit” my roofline and door jambs?

She has made a nice offer and I don't now how many folks would buy one, but I think it would be great. It helps out the Roth family and gives us a personal shirt to boot. Sounds good to me, but any interest out there?

I also asked her if they had another design with a Hudson, Essex, or Terraplane with a stock motor or no motor showing. I'm sure she'll look into it.

I don't know about you all, but I think all these cars and trucks with Flowmasters and similar mufflers all sound alike going down the road. The only difference is the size of the exhaust tips the car/truck is running. With that...



I happen to like the sound of a glasspack muffler. My favorite old-school mufflers are the Smithy's 30" with 2" in/out, and the old Thrush mufflers that were painted black, white, and red and had the "thrush" bird and logo on them. Some turn-down tips out the back for the looks, an "X"-pipe as a crossover (as opposed to an "H" connection"), and the classic sound is there! I'm doing my son's '67 C-10 and my '67 Dodge CSS D-100 in the same way, with Smithy's on both! Had a single Thrush on one of my previous Hudsons, too, and it sounded right!



The chambered pipe that was used on the '69 Camaro had a righteous sound to it, too!

1. I have placed the battery tray on the firewall since it is more convinient there than being in the trunk.
2. I have the new Hot Rod Air evaporator installed complete with brackets that can be removed if necessary.
3. I located the ideal lower radiator hose ('80's Dodge truck).
4. I rerouted the P/S return line to give me more clearance for the fan shroud.

But, I have purchased the motor that will go into my '50 Pace Coupe. It's a.................................................................................................
...........1955 Chrysler 331, 300HP, Dual Quad intake. Well, what do nyou guys think? Looks like someone started on it, looks line bored and cylinder bored with that preserving stuff (cosmoline?) all over it. There is not a bit of rust on the block, heads, rockers, intake. The pistons look like they are aluminum, but it's almost all eaten up. Don't have much history on it, I will have to have it miced and such to make sure there are no cracks or other flaws. I will need a crank, but the heads are complete with valves and springs, will need pushrods though. It has the harmonic balancer with it.

I verified the block casting numbers, but haven't checked the heads yet top see if they are stock to the block.

They will just be stored for right now as I need to get our Dodge finished before I get started on the Coupe. I will probably mate a later model o/d/ auto tranny. But I will probably keep the dual quad carbs (need to get new carbs for it w/ adapters) and run off the rear one, with the front as a dumper.

I'm very excited about this find and especially all for $1,200. It is nice to see something nice happen to this family for once these past couple years! lol

It is WWAAAYYYY cool--Truck is licensed and used on the street----Road raced,1/4 miled, and speed-raced. Very interesting story on the User---



However---The truck itself is really neat--Top chopped a small amount, otherwise a beautiful stock-appearing HUDSON p/u. Even has Commodore turn signal lamps on front fenders.



Truck has been heavily modified otherwise, turns quarter mile @ 95mph, has been timed at 138 mph. It's a showcase for Para- and Quadriplegic controls for autos and is actally controlled by use of a mouth control.



Article states that the truck will be shown (and used!) @ SCTA events, including Bonneville. Can't wait to see in person locally.



Another shining article on the great HUDSON vehicles!!!]]>
