Status Update for February
We got a bit of work done on the Nash. We've pulled the bed and cab off the 620. It's ready if we want to mount the Nash body onto it like a monkey riding an elephant, but we're going to try the engine in the Nash for now. We pulled the engine off the 620 frame. Rolled the Nash in garage and tried to shoe-horn the engine/tranny into it. It’s just about 4” too long. We’re going to separate the pair and put the tranny in, then put the engine in and mate it up. At that point, we’ll see what we need to do for fabrication.
I took the head to Dover Cylinder to have them pressure test it. I should hear from them on Monday (2/15). Hopefully our intermix problem was just a bad gasket.
Got a bunch of tune up parts from RockAuto: filter, plugs, wires. Picked up a carb rebuild from AutoZone. Eric is going to tackle that and give us a fire spewing beast.
Until I can get hold of a welder, we have a ton of little stuff that will keep us busy.
1. Clean all the parts we've removed from the engine
2. Remove the glass from the Nash and sell.
3. Put engine back together
4. Paint car
Still noodling on how to stop the Nash. It has drum brakes. There is a disc conversion option, but nothing written up on the web. There's a guy that sells a video on how to do it, so I may invest in it. It involves MG and/or Sprite parts from what I can gather.
