I bought my 36 Hudson Terraplane from a guy that had driven the car into the barn for a years storage. When he parked it. he pulled the distrib, to have it rebuilt. Long story short, when he re-assembled the parts and tried to start the car the next year. The engine would only rotate about 320 degrees. He got discouraged. I got the car.

I was going to use a SBC in the car so upon original engine removal. I removed the pan and there was the Taj Mahal of mouse nest in the oil pan. Complete with dead family of critters.

I cleaned it up and sold it to a guy who ran it in his 37 Hudson for years with no problems.
