Nailhead I D Help

I was just given a complete Nailhead with #V8283776 on the left bank of the block. Can anyone tell me what year, cubes? It has a Dynaflow trans behind it with what looks like a torque tube setup on the end. Thanx, Creeper

Should help you identify your nailhead.

 

Well off of that i gathered the heads are 54-56, 322/264" I still don't know what the block is, prolly the same. it looks like the engine has never been apart. Thanx Zman, Creeper

 

Can't find that #. I think it should be like 139----.

 

what carb does it have on it , rochester or carter and how many barrels

 

Has a 4 barrel intake w/no carb.

 

I am pretty sure that makes it a 322 , 264 only had 2 barrels.

 

Here's a cool article about nailheads. Doesn't have indentification numbers, but lots of useful info if you plan on building it up.
