Re: [AMC-list] Fwd: Nash 234.8 OHV six



nash content: the 234.8 had shell insert bearings starting in '33-4,
but the straight 8 had babbitt bearings like an older nash six,
according to egge machine.  i wouldn't be surprised if both were
derivatives of that '20s design.
Re Babbitted 8s - not by 1940 they did not. Couldn't have taken that 
much longer to change over. The 8 was still on paper for '42 but the 
number of 4280s produced must have been incredibly small if any.
The 1940 and earlier OHV 6 engine had much more in common with its 
forebears. Major revisions took place in 1941 and again in 1950. It's 
probably fair to say that the 1950-later engine (bumped up to 252 
around that time) has a lot in common with the 232/258 for decades to come.
