The Official NAILHEAD Powered Thread!

401 in my 40 Ford pickup project.

 

Thanks I really appreciate that. I've been working on it for about 8 years so that would be a pretty boring build thread

 

A couple of mine, I have had the roadster for 23yrs and have been working on and off the coupe for about 10yrs. Hope to get it done this year for B-ville.

 

My friend Ray's '32 - we're now putting a Hilborn 4 hole injector on instead of the carbs.

 

my 49 merc has a 425 nailhead. Here is a pic and a utube link

My latest addition to the Hot Rod family.

 

^^^ showoff!!! ^^^

Nice ride Kevin

 

Can't believe I just found this thread. Will post pic's of the purple 401 soon.
Keep 'er nailed

 

Just a photo from my garage...


...and soon things will be looking different... hmmm...

 

Goddamn, those are fucking sweet. And I'm not into rods at all.

 

Where it was born.
Check out the dealer installed a/c.

WHAT´S HAPPENING?!? You took the engine off the 57?

I still have some work ahead


J

 

Yes, I pulled that engine up from my '57, gotta repair Dynaflow. It means that hotrod will be patiently waitin'...

And thanks for the latest work on a lathe!

 

Slow but sure, paint and upholstery left on the punch list. I plan my to have 401 nailhead-powered hiboy on the road by June!

 

Awesome, I can't wait to see it!!

 

Theres a '54 Buick special nearby. Is it worth getting it for the 264ci engine, or is that just too small to be worth using in a rod? Also, someone mentioned this car having a torque tube. Is that true?

 

Congrats on RJ #53. Terrific photos!!!!!

 

Heres my addition...

 

How'd I miss this thread? My favorite motor of all time. I had a 322 I let go. Looking for another here soon to put in some deuce rails with an A coupe on top.

So many awesome cars in this thread.

 

Here are some shots of my old Riviera's engine. Painted orange to match the pinstriping and interior motif.

 

Here's a shot of the nailhead I have slotted for my tall T. Needs a good detailing.

 

does anyone know if Russ from Centerville Auto Repair is a member here I purchased one of his bellhousing and flywheel set ups last summer and still don't have a flywheel cover everytime I talked to him he would say we should have them next week I even bought valve covers from him during one conversation about the cover he seems straight up but beginning to wonder about that cover

 

I do not know Russ, but having owned Nailheads for years, I certainly know of him. The man is a walking authority on nailheads and I've never heard an unkind word. It's posts like this that always concern me b/c it undermines a person's credibility among those who don't know of him. Surely there's a more productive way of finding a resolution than "outing" him on the HAMB?

 

401 for a rivvy or maybe a early p/u

 

My 55 Buick with 322Ci

 

I disagree the 58 Buick doesnt get enough love around here.
