The 195 motor is a dead stock 86 Nissan 3 liter V6. I bought it for $160 on
eBay. Gave it a 3 angle valve job and put spacers in the lifters to overcome
the hydraulic adjusting and set valve clearance. Jack uses an electromotive
crank trigger ignition for space saving reasons. Jack added two turbos from
a 2.2 Chrysler and a 2bbl motorcraft carburetor from some old Ford. The run
was mostly or all in high gear. Proving it don't take much to push Jacks car
around. With real power who knows how fast that car would be. Rich Fox
