Newbie hoping to learn a few things

I am a newbie, been looking around the site for a while but have finally become the proud owner of a 55 Buick special. I am hoping to have some of the knowledge from you guys rub off on me as I go through the build. I am hoping to pick up a 56 322 from a roadmaster to replace the 264. I definitely want to stay nailhead. But I am definitely looking forward to hearing some opinions on mods for the 322 and trans and torque tube vs open driveline conversion. I will start the build thread and post some pictures of the 55 as soon as I can. I have some experience with muscle car era cars but this will be my first 50's project so any insight will be appreciated. I love the traditional/nostalgia hot rods and really enjoy learning from people who know them far better than me.

 

Welcome from Texas! This is definitely the place the learn all you need about building up your rod.
