    The seller wrote "In the 1950's this unit when installed on race engines added 75 horse power."



    Is that true? That seems like an awful lot.

    These units are getting more and more expensive. IMHO $800 is high for a unit that needs to be redone and may not even have the complete linkage, may have cracks, etc. As far as horsepower added, I'll leave that to the better versed Hudsonites but seems to me they added more like 15 to 25 HP over the stock single carb....

    NO, Hudson Advertised 10 HP gain for the Twin H over the standard 2BBL equipped engine.

    I think $800. is a bit steep, as is his claimed horsepower gain of 75.
