Twin-H Power Engine...
-
Hello. Someone can give me the definition of Twin-H Power? Where did this name? Thanks
-
The Hudson Motor Car Company used the name to describe (and advertise) the dual carburetor system which they introduced in late 1951.

Thanks! I imagined, but for some reason I thought it was more "technical "....

I think Hudson had introduced the term "H-Power" maybe in 1951, then later, for engines with the dual carburetors it became "Twin-H Power."

BEEN ASKED THAT QUETION MANY TIMES, OT KNOWN TH RL REASON I ALWAYS SAID THE ENGINE AND AIR CLEANERS FORM A "H", THATS WHY. IT GETS EXCEPTED ALOT AS THE ANSWERED. IT JUST WORKES FOR ME.

But that would not explain the "H-145" designation previous to twin-H. Had to stand for something, maybe High power or something. -
Thank you all for the answers ...
Michele -
"Twin Hudson Power" makes sense to me... so does "Hudson-145" or "Hornet-145" or how about "Hudson Hornet "H.H." "Hudson Hornet Power" Twin H. Even if you had 262 or a Jet with dual carbs it was a speed upgrade and so you might call it "Hudson Hornet Power" anyway. As if you're adding that performance edge to your Hudson associated with the Hornet. They sold a lot of cars based on the image of Hornet racing alone.
If you have a Hudson Hornet Hollywood with Hydramatic you could call it a 4H but in rural areas that has a very different connotation. LOL -
The "H-145" was the original advertised horsepower of the 1951 Hornet with the 2 barrel carb. They maintained that standard HP rating thru 1953

Well, overall I am happy. On my Hudson Pacemaker 1950, was an engine 308 of 1954, with double carburetors (Twin-H Power), and head 262 to increase the compression ......

Pulled a couple of advertising brochures for '51 cars. Both refert o the H-145 engine as introducing "Miracle H-Power" - "the finest high compression performance without the use of premium fuels" also "high-compression, high-output design"
and the "Miracle-Dome aluminum head, which gave a compression ratio of 7.2-1.
Doesn't even compare with the Hornet's "New Skyliner Styling" - or its "gleaming 'Badges of Power'" (the side and trunk rockets)!
Doub't even the Shadow knew what thoughts lurked in the hearts of ad-men...Walt-LA
