I believe that the valve covers should have the Winters Foundry "snowflake" cast into them on the inside if they are OEM. They would have come on the late 401/425 Nailheads as an option on standard cars and Part of the package on GS cars with the dual quads. I don't know what they are currently going for, sorry. As with anything, condition is everything.
The 264 flywheels may be rare but I believe that the demand is probably low. The 264 is probably one of the least desirable Nailheads out there as it's the small one. If the flywheel is interchangeable with a 401 you may get some demand for it. If it's not then you might have it for awhile. Again, condition. How are the ring gear teeth?
The 264 would have been the standard issue engine for the smaller more "economy" Buick's like the Special. In the early '50's a lot of them still came with manual transmissions. Roadmasters which had the bigger engine, the 322, would almost undoubtedly have an automatic trans.
You might get a better answer on the HAMB site. It is usually populated with guys doing what you were thinking about doing with this stuff.
