Hudson V8?
-
-
consignor ASSUMES it's for a V8 when it is in fact for the flathead Hudson 8s which from '30 thru '33 used a 2 head configuration requiring 2 headgaskets of 4 cyl. each.
The '30 is a one year only head gasket, the '31 another as the bore was increased, the it was increased again in '32 ( the '33 same bore was '32, 3" so they use the same #).
The '33 T8 uses a 1 pc. headgasket, 1st Hudson 8 with a 1 pc. head, and another "one off" headgasket (bore was 2 15/16") & now very hard to find! -
its just a 0 degree V for some reason hudson still called it a straight 8

Hey, if you stuffed TWO 6's or 8's into your engine bay and canted them, would it qualify as V-12 or V-16?
