Hudson powered??
  • Posts: 0
    Hi all,



    My son and I just purchased a 1927 Chrysler 4 door with the idea of building a rat rod. Thing is I'm contemplating using a 308 Hornet engine in there....what do you think?

    FYI



    Sounds good to me... It would sure beat the Spitfire 6....Go for it.

    Go for it. I seem to recall a Hudson powered late model Corvette, in a previous post. I believe the husband and wife were proudly showing it at a car show. Lee

    I've always been amazed at the names they put on those old boat-anchor motors. Most of the old Chevy 6's I had were more "Blue Smoke" than "Blue Flame"!:rolleyes:



    Do the Twin H!:D

    Mike,

    I think I am offended? I'll need a few more minutes to think about it..(not really.) This little (all original) El Camino has the 235-6 with three on the tree. It has just under 50,000 miles on it and there is no blue smoke anywhere????



    I am a Hudson 8 guy now, but I had a 308-6 Twin-H in my last car. I love the Hudson engines but I would not swap out this 235-6 for any engine currently or previously on the market......

    No offense meant- I was referring more to the older stovebolts with the babbit bearings. When I was a kid and backyard mechanic, it was maddening to have something go wrong that I was simply powerless to fix- once the bearings loosened up on those old gals, off to the dump they went. Luckily, there were millions of them, and the next one was a close as the nearest junkyard. And with a little luck, the one you got was at least a little better than the one you scrapped. . .

    Twin H in a Chevy?
    That would be even better than putting a Twin H in a Chrysler!!!!!(Chrysler is in the family since the 1980's right?)
    I like that idea! Since I retired I have thought about buying up GM Product's as I can afford to and puttting anything but a GM engine-tranny in it! Too bad I am officially broke.
