The best news about the adapter is that you could put a Hudson motor in your GM product of choice, right? Hey, turnabout is fair play.

That happens to be my car. The conversion was simple. It came with the adapter plate, flywheel, and all the hardware to install it. I have only driven it a little, since the engine has only been in for about a week. Everything seems to be fine, the hydraulic throw out bearing seems to make alot of noise. I will need to look into that. Any questions about the adapter I would be glad to help, also Pat at Wilcap is very helpful.

Best of all, it sounds like there is little/no modification to the transmission/housing...

What, no intro? Good to see new folks on this forum. Modified or stock, I welcome you. Good looking car and great installation, it's great to see somebody using the Hudson motor other than the ubiquitous SBC.:rolleyes:
