I'm putting together a Jet drive train for my Terraplane and i need a manual transmission setup, from the engine plate back. Does anyone have any of the parts needed that they want to get rid of without breaking the bank?

  • I'm in Altus, OK. The southwest corner of the state.

    I have a front clip(sheet metal) for a Jet, if anyone need the parts, they are in pretty good shape, surface rust and a few small dents, no bumper. No way to ship this stuff so it would have to be pickup only.

    What is the hood like? I may be able to help out with the transmission, I will have to check the supply

    What year Terraplane are you putting the Jet drive train in? I may be interested in doing the same in the future for my '36T, I would like to hear how it goes and what problems you run into.
  • The hood is pretty good, no rust through, a little surface rust, a couple of small/shallow dents in the passenger side. It still has the Hudson letters and the chrome piece on the top. Most of the undercoating is still on the underside.

    The engine is going in a 35 T coach, until i can rebuild the 38 Hudson 112 engine i found for it. All the measurements i can find says that i will have to modify the front motormount plate, raise one side about an inch and narrow the distance berween the holes by two and a half inches. The transmission should match up to the mount ok. I will have to put in a floor shift, and make/shorten the drive shaft. But this seems like the best possible route to take in getting the car moving and not having to cut up the firewall or butcher anything else, so it can go back to nearly stock some day.
  • I have a standard Jet transmission, drive shaft and rear end. I am the guy that bought the conny kit off of your car.

  • Barry;

    I'll try to give you a call after work on Friday. Can you use an Auto trans or the Jet front clip? I have some time off after Christmass and maybe we can work out a partial trade. Let me know.
  • I may not be home till a little later on Friday, Say about 6:00 or 7:00
