I've seen this Hudson transmission for sale by "hudnut52" a number of times at some southern Wisconsin swap meets (just a few weeks ago at the West Bend, WI swap meet). It does appear to be in very good condition on the outside and I wouldn't be surprised if it's just as good on the inside.

I, myself, have been tempted to purchase it as a spare, but the twin lever transmission on my '53 Super Wasp has less than 53,000 miles so I figure I'm in pretty good shape transmission wise.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON GETTING MY 52 HORNET READY FOR OUR TRIP TO YELLOWSTONE BUT I FOUND THE HEAD IS CRACKED . I,AM ON MY THIRD HEAD.?

[Deleted User]

NO THE FIRST TIME WAS BETWEEN THREE AND FOUR AND THE HEAD WAS AT 1.940 I THINK THAT IS THE LIMIT.

YES THE BLOCK WAS RECERFICED WHEN IT WAS REBUILT AS WAS THE HEAD CHECKED FOR CRACKS

Somewhere it seems I saw a chart showing the holes were progressively bigger in small increments . From the middle out for just the type of thing you mention , cant find where I saw this ,
