Re: 4.0 history
Hi Jeff,
I finally found a picture of the way your 4.0 liter engine looked
in 1927:
http://www162.pair.com/nashram/nash/...rsonid=&carid=
A side from the fact people nowadays want a spin on oil filter, rather
than the remote pictured. A water pump was needed for today's speeds.
And the Environmental Protection Agency did away with the side cover and
blow-by-tube.

Re: 4.0 history
Hi Dave,
Like, this is George Washington's hatchet, the one he chopped down
the cherry tree with, of course the handle's been replaced twice, the
head once.
A list of other Nash engines:
http://www162.pair.com/nashram/nash/common/modelno.php Until 1957 when
they merged with Hudson and became American Motors. The switch to seven
mains is your engine, exactly.
