what's the most you hp you can push out of a 1952 262 6cylinder, and mods to get there?

I've seen pics of some with a super charger mounted on the side, but not sure if it was a 308 or a newer 308, was reading they made the motors better in 1955 where the motor could handle performance mods

FYI
To get the most Power you really need to begin with the larger 308 Hornet Motor. Im not implying the 262 is inferior, its just better to start with a larger displacement.
 In '55 the.308 motor had a wider valve relief, larger flywheel bolts, head bolts, and a Dry Clutch. Ive heard 350 HP is about the max from a highly modified Stroker Motor.

That's definitely where I'm leaning towards, I like the 262 , but more juice , would be even better, and I want to keep the motor in the hudson family

How much modifying does it take to put the 308 in?

fyi
Identical dimensions..

That's cool, are they the same motor mounts?

RL Chilton

Yes, same mounts, will bolt right up.

Good deal, thank you, found some pretty neat but pricey motors on this site here

That webb site could not be found was the message I got.

I sometimes wonder how many folks have come to the forum because of Uncommon Engineering.  I'm sure there's been lots.

That's a great site with some nice engines as well. I always enjoy looking at an engine
