BCT1955

Hello, I have a 1955 Nash Ambassador Custom that originally had the v8 but the engine is gone. Does anyone know what I could do for an alternative to the Packard v8? I would consider buying a trans that could be hocked up to a different motor if anyone has any ideas. Thank you!

Thank you all for the posts, in gonna try the Nash club and maybe buy the engine from eBay

Could not find the site , could you message me it?

Yea that was the plan, but there is no salvaging this block or trans, I've had it apart. This engine has been run without oil or coolant, and hard. I have never seen a engine / trans with this much damage. So it's out of the picture. I would like to keep the suspension etc the same, so I'm looking to see if anything could bolt directly to the torque tube, or if anyone has a T85/T89 Nash transmission out there. With the T85 I could bolt up numerous Ford engines or newer amc v8s. Lincoln suspension is something I would try last

I have a 1955 Nash ambassador custom that originally came with a Packard 320 v8, engine was toast and tranny was locked up when I bought it. Was thinking about putting a Packard 374 in it with a T85 or T89 so it could be hooked up to the torque tube, but couldn't find either. So I'm looking into putting maybe a Buick nailhead in it, but I don't know if it would bolt to the torque tube. Any information would be appreciated, location Madison SD.
