Super Charged Hornet 6 !

Ol racer

FYI
Butch Smith has been building a modified Hornet Motor the past few yrs with Billet Stroker Crank, Large valves, Isky Cam, Randy Maas T/Chain&, Clifford Head, Spring Trans Adapter, Custom Built Headers, etc, for his '46 Hudson Cpe that Butch has owned forever.

The Chassis has 4 wheel Discs, Ford 9' rear, and top shelf all the way, but the large Blower is destined to be the 'Ultimate Hornet Power plant' Thanks to Rich Thompson of the 'Hudson Boys' for machining the Head, and fabricating the manifold, Pullys, adaptor, and Blower drive assenbly,....

[/b][/u]Belive it or not, This Motor Combo is for a St Rod!!! However, with Butch's Drag Race Background a 'Fun Run' (or two) may become a reality......TBD

Ol racer

Butch,

Pls send me a recent picture of your Coupe to Post...

Thanks for the pictures Ol racer. An update, Butch has recently received his Twin Vortex aluminum head. He says, it will be used on the blower motor. He brought the head to the CIC chapter meeting at Vintage Coach for us to drool over. We are all looking forward to the day he has it running.

Have a good day.

Thats a nice intake can those guys make an aluminum version of the Twin H intake? just the weight savings over the cast would be great.

Sorry,
Only meant that Butch has been working on & off his Cpe Project quite awhile with setbacks out of his control. Attached picture of Traction Masters being fit with the Disc Brake Currie 9" Rear.

Check Out these Custom built Headers for Butch's Hudson....They are I 3/4" Tubes, not std 1 5/8" because of Supercharging.....
(I dont know who Fabricated those beauties).....

Looks like he has beaten me to it! I am working on putting an M90 Supercharger on an AMC 6 cylinder with a megasquirt fuel injection. After I get done with that, my coupe is next. I like it when someone gets the hard hurdles out of the way! I wonder what he is going to do for a fuel source?

Holy Smoke, you're going to have to wax that thing inside and out!

Looks Great!

Can that Manifold take one 4 with out the blower? That would be a great 4 bbl intake. Also will it fit a 308?

Ol racer

FYI
This Modified Hornet Motor is going into the Coupe shown earlier... Check the Oil & Cooling Mod's, B&F Aluminum Head, and the Billet pullys.... Probably the Supercharger wont be installed again until after Motor in Chassis...

essexcoupe3131

What sort of HP is this puppy going to make and where do you think your et's are going to be
Ball park is fine
Thanks
Mike

Ol racer

Well, its not mine, but watching the build with the large cam, valves, relief, ARP Fastners, Billet Stroker Crank, Randy Maas Roller Chain, Custom Head & Headers, HEI Ign, with a very big Supercharger, into a Cpe Chassis thats been all updated probably will have easy 400HP and turn in the low 12's, (but doubtful the owner will ever race it after many yrs of building) TBD...

Oh come on. Got to meet me at the tree at least one time for bragging rights.

Looks very nice.

However let's see proof of its power as soon as possible with a dyno sheet!

Ol racer

FYI
Butch Smith has been working on his '47 Cpe for some time due to many set backs & delays out of his control, but he is finally getting toward completion of his Project. The Car has many Updates, 4 wheel Disc, Different Master Cly assy, and far too much to list.
The Hornet Engine has a very rare Bennett & Fellows custom finned Aluminum Head, a Steel BILLET Custom Machined Stroker Crankshaft, HEI/MSD Ign, Isky Cam, Maas Dbl Roller Timing Chain set-up, and a large Supercharger going into a Turbo400R Trans, then into a Currie Sure Grip 9' Rear End....All the Blower pullys & Brackets was special machined and fabricated by a friend. (A monumental task I would imagine).....Im sure you have seen & heard the video of thIS motor on the Test Stand. Cant wait to see the Video going down the Street (or Strip).....

GrimGreaser

Great Googly Moogly!  Great to see this motor in a car. Loved the videos of it running on the stand!   

Ol racer

FYI

New Picture of the Motor in the '47 Hudson Cpe and a nice shot of the Custom Blower Set Up & that Rare Aluminum Head designed by Rudy Bennett & Chuck Fellows from Texas...

Someone asked about HP. but not mine to say ,but probably over 400 depending on Pully size since a Stroker with similar Mod's will pull 350 HP....
