1960 Hillman Husky NEW! Started in May 2004 CLICK HERE TO SEE THE RESTORATION PROGRESS... My first upgrade was to put 3.89 gears in the back. I then added an overdrive. This put a bit of a strain on the original 1390 CC motor so I swapped in a cast iron head 1725. The next upgrade was to add a Weber 34/36 carburetor. After about 10,000 miles I blew the head gasket so I decided to put an aluminum cylinder head on it. I found a NOS Holbay head and added stainless steel exhaust. I was never really satisfied with this set-up because the Holbay seemed to want to make its power in the higher RPMS. After about 100 miles I yanked the motor and started collecting parts to swap in a V8. I bought a Ford crate motor, a 340 horsepower 302. It will be backed by a Ford C4. So far I have already installed the following parts from a Sunbeam Tiger: leaf springs, 2.88 rear end, and a front cross member with disc brakes. Read more on the Hillman...
