Re: the Navarro Rambler Six...

I remember one in the junkyard where I got my Rambler parts in high school. The guy kept blowing the four speed transaxle (cracking the case) with a "slightly" warmed up 326. According to a Poncho website (http://www.pontiacserver.com/pmtempest2.html), the 215 was used in 61-62, but dropped in the 63 model year (from all GMs). Pontiac used their 326 for 63 only.
