Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines Rambler 195.6 OHV performance/rebuild

I know most of you have GM iron, but I hope you won't mind me posting about my most recent project, a Rambler 195.6 OHV inline six. This isn't the "new" AMC six, it's the old Nash-based one, AMC stuck overhead valves on an ancient Nash flathead in 1958.

Let's just say it's not a popular motor. But it's a forged bottom end brick s**t-house, with a lot of low-hanging fruit, they're fairly common even still, and it's the only engine that fits in the tiny bay of the early Rambler American chassis. (This engine will bolt right into any Nash back to the 1930's I think.)

There's not a single aftermarket performance part for this engine, not even a chrome air cleaner, so I made or did everything myself.
