I am bit curious about how many Hudson car or pickup owners have installed a different engine in their vehicle? Besides a rebuilt Hudson engine

    I’m putting a 429 Caddy and THM 400 in my ‘40 truck. I know another guy w a ‘46 truck w a rowdy 454. Another guy on here used a 472 Caddy. Any engine can work with the right mods. Hell, there was another guy on here a few years ago making his Hornet electric.

    We have not heard from the EV Hudson guy in a long long time. I wonder what happened to it? I know there was a '53 Hornet in N. CA w/ a 455 Buick running around. Green and black if I remember right.

    I must agree, an online six, even a jag engine looks correct in a Hudson
