The pan with the depression is '56 Hudson, I have one available if anyone need it, with the oil pump also. Ontario Canada.

Bell housing on right. Is Packard

Is the bell housing on the left cast iron or cast aluminum?

jack vines

It is aluminum.

Hammy, thanks for the information on the oil pan.

I am going to assume the transmission bell housing is for a Hudson as well.

Just for my own edification, were there differences between the Twin Ultramatics supplied to AMC and those Packard used themselves?

OD,
I believe the transmission were essentially all the same, but I don't know that for a fact.

I do know that there was a different bell housing used on one, maybe the Hudson. I know that there was a shorter tail housing used on one of them.

Maybe those who come to this site with a Packard Ultramatic, in a Studebaker, Hudson, and Nash could expand on this.

I think it was at the PAC national meet in Baltimore, that they had an Ultramatic rebuilder speak there and someone put together parts, service bulletins, service manuals from all that used the Ultramatic. I think the mans name was Lloyd Storm?

From the Hudson parts catalog

Did the '56 Hudson and Nash that were equipped with the Packard V-8 and Twin-Ultramatic transmission also have the Nash torque tube driveline? Seems to me they did.
