I have found a fairly reliable source for Nailhead head and block casting numbers. I have updated our list to reflect changes.

I have that book and use it too. Some of the numbers are part numbers, but you might as well own one.

If you buy it through this link the site gets some support:

Thanks Airy Cat. That's what we need to compile a more complete list. I have added the numbers you have found. I would like to set up something where Buick owners can add info they know of.

Having trouble accessing the nailhead numbers list. No authorization?
Saw an engine at an upcoming sale, and could read 11663491 on one of the heads. The pic is kinda fuzzy, so not sure about the first 6.

Casting # is 13327894...it is not listed but definitely a nailhead.
Can you tell me what year and cubic inch
Thank you,
Guy

All the casting numbers I have that are reasonably identified are listed.
You can tell which motor the intake will fit by measuring across the stud holes. The measurements are partway down this page:
