Wow, i just had the head off my 308 and my valve didn't try to jump out of the block like that!1953 Hornet sedan Twin-H

Cant wait to see the blower that goes on this puppy
Going to look very sweet and even run sweeter by the looks of it

Here is the Whipple Supercharger thats going onto Butch's Modified Hornet Motor.... Its a 'Draw Thru' Blower...
Incidently, The Hudson Boy's set a new Streamliner Class Record of 218 MPH last Month in Bonneville using a Whipple Blower

so does this sit on the side or set up much like a v8? I havnt personally had much to do with blowers at all
MIke -
Mike,
The Blower will bolt onto a 4bbl Intake and sit on the side. (I have a small Eaton 62 on my 329" Hornet. The blower sits forward (because absence of long snout)with fabricated plenum back to 4bbl manifold).... Runs great!

How in the world did you get a 308 with a Supercharger AND A/C to fit under the hood of a 37? Can you put some of your magic in a vial and send it to me please?1953 Hornet sedan Twin-H

mate, there's not even enough room to swing a spanner
well done and it looks magic and would sound even cooler
Mike -
Guys,
Thanks for the nice comments.... Actually, it was not too difficilt with the front end removed since my firewall had a 'removable pocket'above the floorboard that I thought all Terraplanes had until a few other Hudson Guys seen it saying it was altered at some point to clear a little motor with the distributor on the rear of the head. I only had to trim the X brackets under the radiator to clear the damper then slid the radiator Core forward a few inches (inside of the Straps) into the grille shell. -
FYI
This is the neat Master Cyl Assy in Butch's Hudson Coupe complete with remote fill & proportioning valve for 4 wheel Disc Brakes.....

no master booster, hope that puppy can stop on a pin LOL
Mike -
FYI
The Power Booster is located seperately in another Picture...
Butch has owned this Hudson a long time and apparently really thought out these updates.... I belive the longest hold up in the Project has been the custom machine work.
More Pictures later
