VW4X4 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Can anyone identify this engine? Note the large side cover on this engine. Also the yellow stamping numbers. Here is the transmission still attached. Note the large aluminum flange on the tail. Edited October 19, 2021 by VW4X4 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW4X4 Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Hey Thanks "nzcarnerd" I did a little more research and found it is a NASH, but maybe in the 40's ..Close enough. Anyone want to buy it .... Cheap? Edited October 19, 2021 by VW4X4 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Close enough? Posting the number that's on on the Delco distributor tag if it's legible might help narrow it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mribbich@wi.rr.com Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Could be a brass tag on the Carter Carb and could be a number on the fuel pump flange. Marv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW4X4 Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 So, like the other engines I've been recovering, this one is for sale (cheap). Located in Pgh. PA. It needs a good home. I've rebuilt a ton of engines over the years, and these engines (at this price) can be a very good investment, if you find yourself looking for a small missing part, a connecting rod, crank, or what not....

VW4X4 Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Can anyone help me with identifying another engine? A dead give-away is the unusual manifolds. Note the intake its not symmetrical. The rear is higher then the front of the manifold compared to the exhaust manifold. Also the exhaust manifold is above the intake, not below. I'm guessing that would make this engine about a 1934 model year. No identification that I can see anywhere on the engine... Any help is appreciated.

1939_Buick Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Transmission is not floor change (column change) which would date it ~1938/39 or later. Transmission has GM look (5 bolt top cover), but other brands/make may be similar. Old's? Any numbers cast into head near front (216) Not exactly the same (click to engine)--> https://www.connorsmotorcar.com/vehicles/367/1939-oldsmobile-60-series Edited November 11, 2021 by 1939_Buick (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) It's a Pontiac six, 1940 or later I think, because the older ones had an emblem cast in the side. I think 1939 was the last year for the emblem. It could be as late as 1954 (the last year they made them). The last 2 or 3 years of production had a 2 barrel carburetor, so if it has one, that narrows it down.

Bloo Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 The other one appears to be the big Nash Ambassador six, circa late 40s to early 50s. My guess is 1949 or later, most likely 1949-51. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW4X4 Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 Now we found a Pontiac straight 8 cylinder. ITs attached to a automatic transmission, so I'm guessing this engine is 1952-1954. ITs big, and so is the transmission. Weather is getting in the way now, so we are not likely to get it out of there, unless someone needs it sooner..
