    I am always the first person to commit sacrilege to a car in my firends eyes, chevy in a ford, Pontiac in a chevy, ford in a chevy. But after having got my hands on an all original 65 Riviera, find a Nailhead. These damn cars are just slick, and the nailhead just adds to it. Mine isn't going to be on the street for another month or so, and I already got ANOTHER Nailhead to build a performance but not crazy engine with. there isn't a ton of these 65's out there.

    if you put a small block chevy in you will need a chevyII oil pan.cut off old motor mounts(hits fuel pump) weld in new ones. and use 58-64 impala headers(x-frame)

    FNG #1 asks what will drop right into his car.

    Over a year passes

    FNG #2 brings a worthless thread back up and explains how to hack up FNG #1 car.

    Priceless.

    LOL, NOW THAT'S FUNNY.

    I'm wondering you're the one that sold me the Dual Quad 425 out of a Riviera in Howell. Kind of idiotic really.
