Nash's were never known for their performance. I've never heard or seen perfomance parts for them. Don't expect a lot of HP. AMC's that's a different story.

which flathead do you have the 184 or the 195.6 engine,
There are aluminum heads out there some are single 1 bbl carbs and some are two 1 bbl carb intakes.
Like it been said they are under powered but they can make a nice looking motor when done.
Here the one I have. it has the stock head and I adapted a 2 bbl. 2100 series Ford carb. It woke it up a little. I have added chrome nut covers on the head studs after these pictures were taken.

when I was in H.S. my Dad had a 49 Nash American w/t a 6 flathead.
He built it, plained the heads, ground the cam, and what else he did I don,t know. but it would kick most v-8's butts off the line.
