    To be honest I’m thinking about $700.... I have the receipt for the new water pump at $120 or so.... but if I’m way off let me know...I can give you serial numbers or what ever you request... Thanks... Berry.... just trying to help pay for the motor I am putting in... it came out of a numbers matching car

    Unless you're in a real rush, it might pay you to advertise this in the Hudson club's magazine, The White Triangle News.  This probably reaches more folks than the forum does (because a lot of Club people still don't do computers).  Won't cost you a cent if you work through an existing member like me.  However, the deadline for the next issue is August 1 for the Sept.-Oct. issue.  If you're interested, contact me at xxxdetailed@verizon.net, drop the xxx before sending.

    I am pretty sure someone would like this engine as H8s are hard to come by.  I agree with Jon, put it in the WTN or have someone put it on the HET forum.  A lot of guys on this forum are full up with stuff, but occasionally a newbie comes by.

    I have a cast iron head for this engine and also live in Minnesota. I can also come up with an overdrive transmission for it as well.
