Nope. Find a donor car. It is spot welded to the inner fender well and comes up to the core support, so you will have to replace the whole thing, or cut out and section-in what you need.

My results tell me THEY WERE BIG FAT LIARS!
By my experience on the dyno, there's no way a stock engine can actually achieve the factory rated HP & torque numbers at the flywheel with no...

Well Jim... Where to start...
We can only wish your math adds up to 390 hp. I believe you will find that your actual performance options are inter-related and wont just directly add up like you...
I dont visually know the smaller nailheads well enough to be able to answer your question without 100% certainty, therfore I would suggest a call to the nailhead guru in your area- Russel Martin in...
Hello Ray,
YES! There is a lot of interest for Edelbrock to manufacture intakes for the nailhead again! This is good feedback as already mentioned... I will be glad to take a stab at your...
Easier said than done. You will probably have more work and cost in the swap than doing a rebuild on the 425. (Assuming there is no major damage, and it can be rebuilt) It is possible, but there is...

That'll look cool! What's it going in?

You sound like a smart guy that is thinking in the right direction. It sounds as though you have done your dilligence as if it was oil burning. I would have gone in the same direction as you on the...
Unlike Doc, I'm a Comp Cam fan. BTW-There are more nailhead grinds available than just the Thumper series! Everyone is going to have their own opinions on brands of cams, however what really matters...
This is the one I was always partial to:

I dunno... But perhaps a phone call to the ROA might get you started??? They might even help.:confused:
You really thinking of takeing this on as a project?

Fascinating!
How cool of a retro would that be to use this concept sketch for a modern build - retro-recreation of the Riviera!
There is only an exhaust crossover in the Nailhead intake manifold- No water is present. The water gets from one head to the other by the independant water crossover manifold that houses the...
That "some guy" is me.
I did the dyno comparision testing between the Eelco, Edelbrock and the Weiand. I never tested the Offenhauser.

63forson,
Welcome!!! The nailhead can be a "well dressed" engine. Plenty of "dress up" that can be done. As for a lot of high perfomance aftermarket, you will have to do some hunting and...
Cool Jeep Daylate!
I guess it depends upon what YOU want. Me personally, I would keep the 401 for the "stump pulling" torque that it has. A brand new 401 that has never run since new in '63???...
He can be a bit crotchety... He is also a vendor for Clarks Corvair, in which they will stand behind things properly, even if HE doesn't. The problem is, there aren't that many vendors for our...

By the format of the number it looks like you have an Olds, not a Buick. How many bolts do you have per cylinder head? What do the pistons look like?
6 bolts per head = Olds

I'm in the process of making a batch of aluminum ones, but they wont be done for a while yet. You in a hurry? How soon you need it?

This is nothing new. You can type "wideband" an any searchbar (including the one on this site) and come up with all kinds of stuff. As to who has done tuning specific to a Nailhead is something else....
