hi folks we are rebuilding a dirt track race car built by my dads friend and driven by my friends dad 3 family's in all unfortoinaly we have lot all 3 dads and our wealth of info . The car is what they called a modified bomb the for runner of the modern day sprint car . The car always had a buick nailhead engine we have looked for 3 years and finally got one here is my issue we are not sure what engine we have ie year size ect. I have two numbers on the engine VI925325 located on the left bank 1343388-4 located on the rear bell of the engine but that's all I have it is a small bore . any help would be very much appreciated thanks

Have a look in our reference section under engine identification to find where the numbers are located and what they decode.

You have a 322 CI nailhead out of a 1953 Super:

V1925325 = engine serial number

V = V8 (Buick built both I8's and V8's in 1953)
192532 = sequential number, range for 1953 was 2001 to 273955
5 = Series 50 (Super)
