Yeah, but I'm so busy it's not thinkable. But I will think about it... 
:-) and hope to get to the yard this weekend to look and see. The 2.5L 
is on no one's list of performance motors, but that car is super light, 
and it's gotta ahve the same power as the heavy thing in there now, and 
far more possibilities for improvement.

But that old 195.6OHV is a really nice motor to have behind the gas 
pedal. That old fashioned torque curve is just perfectly suited to the 
chassis. Nash knew what they were doing.

I'm in no hurry (unless the motor tosses parts, or the trans fails again...)

I got 22 mpg average, every fillup totalled, since 1 Jan this year. If I 
drive carefully on the highway, 60-65mph, it gets 23, 24 mpg. Not bad 
for an old sh*tbox!
