alsfarms Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 This is a general question for the Nash guys. What year was the first Nash 8, 1930? What was the last year of the Nash straight 8? What was the displacement of the last series straight 8 Nash?Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F&J Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) I may not have a postwar book...but the 1942 shows 260.8 cu in, w/ 115hp at 3400rpma quick look at earlier Nash; the big 8 that was 322 cu inch shows 1934 as the last year...then they just kept the smaller 260.8 for 35-up298.6 was the largest in 30,31,32 different sizes of 8's, depending on the model you bought from 31 up to 34here is a link to carnut specs for the 30s nasheshttp://carnut.com/specs/gen/nash30.html Edited February 3, 2010 by F&J adding carnut link (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks for the general information. Does anyone have an 8 cylinder powertrain removed for the sake of a hot rod? Regards,Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashtwin8 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Alan,As noted above, Nash built several straight 8s in the 1930s. The first was the largest, and used overhead valves and twin ignition. The 1930 490, 1931 890 and 1932 990 used a 298 cu. in. which was enlarged to 322 cu. in. and used in the 1932 (second series) 1090, 1933 1190 and 1934 1290.In 1931 two more eights were introduced. The smaller one was a flathead, which was built only through 1933. The intermediate used overhead valves and twin ignition, and was the one described above, built from 1931 thru 1942. The 1942 models were the only OHV Nash eights without twin ignition. The flathead eights did not use twin ignition.Take care,Jerry K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Schmitjamie Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 It was a double key 8 generating 100hp from 298 cu in. I don't think that there was a Nash directly 8 vehicle after that one . . . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
