Not sure what the legalities are but you'll probably want to check out Jack
Clifford's (of 6=8 fame) stuff for the slant six. Jack was a wizard with
the Hudson six and made some speed stuff for the MoPar slant six as well. I
bought an induction manifold for Holley 4bbl and tube headers from him for
an aluminum block "Q ship" sleeper I built back in the early seventies; I
saw him at a Hudson National meet about 5 years ago, but have no idea if he
is still around (he wasn't a youngster then). BTW, if anyone is interested,
I still have a Hudson 7X exhaust system. This was one of the "export"
pieces which never got out of the country but made a big difference on the
NASCAR circuits in the '50s.
