Need 4 to 5 more orders for the new 2x2 manifold project.

Oops, that's what I meant, on the intake.  Mistype.

I’ll call Larry in the morning I have something I could use one of these on.

So I called Larry and told him I would pick up the other three orders if the rest of the guys would pony up. So if you are get on it times wasting.

I'm in for 2. Did Larry ask us to give him a deposit?

I said to him if the rest of the orders follow through I would pick up the last 3 to get this off the ground. Which means I need to either start another project or sell one of them.

Larry said that he now has 13 orders for the new Hudson manifold/Weber project. He has started the design on the CAD system and plans to start the tooling by Dec. If anyone wants to get in on this first round give Larry a call. Sounds like it is finally off the ground. First new performance parts for a Hudson engine in quite a while. This manifold should fit all of the 51 - 56 wide block engines with the exception of the Jet 6.

Awesome news

What are the plans for the throttle linkage? I assume this doesn't come with any is that correct?

Good question. From what Larry said they will not supply a linkage kit. The good news is that the throttle arms on the Webers are parallel to the engine block, the same as the Carters so you don't need to worry about changing the actuation by 90 degrees.

Here is a youtube vid of an inline 6 (not Hudson) with dual webers. You can see the linkage setup they are using.

Well my mind is slipping I guess. The linkage is 90° to a Hudson Twin H. So it will take some re-engineering for a new linkage.
