Pwebb85 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I’m trying to identify this engine and after showing the pictures to a couple old gear heads, we believe it to be a Nash engine but I’m hoping someone can confirm what rendition of Nash it is, or identify if it is not.

wayne sheldon Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Looks like a Nash dual ignition eight to me. And with an updraft carburetor, most likely no later than 1932. I think those came in two sizes (big 8 and Small 8). I wouldn't know the difference between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Try to find a stamped engine number. That will identify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone have any idea what it’s worth, assuming it’s not locked up and can be restored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid $700 for a complete 1940 Nash twin ignition 8 with transmission and overdrive a few years ago, condition was excellent. This engine is missing bits and is in rough shape. I think a couple hundred might be top end for someone who needs it, which is a small market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
