To this date there are still numerous records on the Nascar books from the Hudson. 2 barrel card and I believe that engine was undersquared so it wound tighter than 6 bangers of the day. What a butt ugly ride though!

Had 308 cubic inches . 3 13/16 bore , 4.5" stroke . top rpm , according to ole smoke (smoky Yunick) was 4500 (maybe it was 4400 ) . He cheated brilliantly . had to , to run with the oldsmobiles , like he ported the block with a slurry pump he designed . made the ports LOOK "as cast " . he even tried a reverse ground camshaft , with a rear end that had been turned upside down , so the engine could run backwards , thinking it might help cornering .

Good ole Smokey...And Junior Johnson... The Chevelle which had 1.5 miles of 1/2" fuel ine in the car...Funny NASCAR said the template did not fit to DQ him...And when he took the template over to Buddy Baker, Richard
Petty and Cale Yarboroughs cars, those templates did not fit either...Yet they were allowed to run....

his chevelle wouldn't fit the templates , because it's body was only 5/6th scale of a real factory showroom stocker . you know he used , back in the mid 60's , a synthetic oil ( non- petroleum ) that cost $25 a qt. -THEN - ? he said after the daytona 500 , no measurable wear ? but the co. went out of business , not enuff people wanted to buy it .
I guess nascar didn't consider him one of "the good ole boys ?"
