Projects Never thought I'd get a true barn find, My new 88yr old Friend.

If you haven't already done so, go to the Hudson-Essex-Terraplane "open forum" and reach out to Geoff C. It seems like he knows more about these cars than anybody should be allowed to.

 

It shouldn't be too difficult to reproduce the heat riser in steel if you want it to look correct. I've seen a brass/copper tube used for the inner sleeve when repairing a similar heat riser from a Buick, which I imagine would last near indefinitely.

 

Oh yes we’ve been conversing quite a bit over the last 10 months. Thank you.

So is that one valve in the cylinder head, and one in the engine block???

 

A bit of an oddity, but yes. Usually referred to as an "F-head" engine, or sometimes described as an IOE design (Intake Over Exhaust).

Just jumped in to see if there was any updates.
I've sold my 28 front and rear ends.
