Of course.. Buster Keating.. He was good at being rediculous. I need to have my glasses on more often.

I wonder if Henry Ford ever got his nose out of joint by the way Hollywood portrayed the modle T? Between Harold Loyd in this one, The keystone cops, Laurel and Hardy, They sure had fun with the "T".

Good job Henry! There is nothing better, or more fun, than hearing an old motor fire up the first time.

You guys gotta watch this! and

for what year of Essex? what size are they? photo's? condition?

do you have any for 28-29 Hudson?

Henry, You seem to have everything correct. To answer your question... There is no seal! You will only have a pint of ATF fluid in the housing. Make sure to wash and clean the old oil from the corks. You may have to change the fluid a few times after operation. It all looks good.

What is the giant speedster behind the 27 REO?

Photo's would help alot, 29 Hudson is in that size, but so were lots of others. Need pic's

Frank, Went threw many box's of rods. Found only one rod with shell inserts. It has no cap with it. Sorry. I have complete motors, but im afraid the Bribery will need to be great to rape a good complete motor. You should try our Yahoo groups site 1916-1929 hudson super six site.

29 Hudson and Essex shared the pine cone.

Here is some more photos for you. Keep in mind my father did this over 40 years ago.

I will have a look. I have 2 dozen or so loose rods, But im sure most of them are 29 style.

again, just curious, Does your machinist know he is dealing with only 6;1 compresion at 70 or so hp at 2500 rpm? So if I have this right, You want to put your new shells/inserts in another set of rods right? and what pistons are you going to put back in , the hudson or packard?

Just curious, whats wrong with rods you have?

gert. No. That, if its hudson, will be from a Biddle&smart body. Not a hudson body. Im glad you posted. I have forgot to get you the extra pics you wanted. I will do that today!

I wouldn't mind the 292, There great motors. I have several in verious vehicles. I have one with .60 over piston, a lumpy cam, split headers with strait pipes. and a Edmons aluminum intake with a 650 4bl on top. chromed evey thing else. When it was in the 55 ford truck, people coudn't believe it when they saw it under the hood. The thing roared and sounded like a beast. In your case I would clean up the crankcase and paint it aluminum colour. the block and head black. put on an unpolished aluminum rocker cover and fit oilers or priming caps on top. An Edmons double intake with apair of 97"s at each end. Headers of course. Put some copper/brass tid bits and piping hear and there, could be fun. The only thing thats a dead give away is the water pump and altinator.

Those are all some nice engine opptions. I guess it comes to 3 things, What do you want to do with your speedster, how much do you want to spend to do that, and how cool do you want to be ,while doing it. Reliability, performance, budget, wow factor, all key elements that need to be looked at and being carful not to cross over in to the "hot rod" catagory. If you go with the V12, with that 2.79 dif, you had best put a heavy duty clutch in that thing, In low gear you would be doing something like 45mph at 1100 rpm!! What a blast that would be, then shift into second...... Yaahoooo!

any pre 1930 Hudson stuff? or pre 1924 Essex?

Do you have any more photos? do you have title for the car?

Some good old fashion ingenuity going on there. What gears you running in the dif?

clutch.pdf Ural, I have attached a scan of a Hudson clutch for you. It is a 1920 Hudson clutch, But is very similar to your essex. If you still are having trouble, I have one that That I found in our barn that is not fixed to the trans, and I can take some photos for you. Good luck

Looks good. Glad to hear you got it running. You are missing the throw out bearing in you Photo ,it sits in that ring. I think thats what you are asking? what carb are you running on it?

What's happened with your truck??

Here is a pic of my 25 Hudson door
