Didn't Continental supply Hudson with their engines?

Continental supplied Kaiser-Frazer and Checker postwar, DuPont, REO, some Peerlesses and others in the 30s, but Hudson made their own engines. Hudson's engine blocks were unique to Hudson and quite different than the Continental flathead 6s. The only connection I'm aware of is that Hudson blocks, heads, etc. were cast by Campbell, Wyant & Cannon (that's the CWC foundry mark on their blocks and other castings.) who also did casting work for Continental.
