changing the direction of the nash coupe

Hey HAMBer's,

New plans for the Nash , I've decided to rod it and not keep it original.....I am looking for a 390 AMC motor if anyone knows of one....wanting to keep it in the family if you get the drift....I also plan on a mini tub in the rear 3 to 4 inches per side for some nice big tires in the rear....Let me hear your thoughts!

 

Love it! I'll keep my eyes open for a 390, Ken. Auto ******, or stick?

 

Auto or Standard, either's fine! thanks!!!!

 

Sounds like a good plan,good luck finding the powerplant.

 

Sounds great keep us posted.

 

The 401's are still fairly easy to find in wrecking yards in the jeep wagoneer.

 

To give you an idea of cost, here's a 401 builder, at home:

and here's a rebuilt long block:

Or, you could always look at a Paxton/Mccullough super charged Hudson I6!

 

Hey Buddy,

Thanks for the info...good to know!

 

As a former AMC owner, it sounds like an excelent plan.

 

sounds a little street roddish to me

 

Because of the mini-tubs? Maybe, with the light car, and Javelin 390, he just wants traction!

 

38Flattie is reading my mind! Call it what you want, can't wait to lightem up!
