Authentic what?
You made the right choice.
Enjoy the Nailhead.

I was being a smart ass about being "authentic" I was going to use a sbc because I hadnt run across anything else until now. Yeah Levi, its a runner, hoping to scrape the money together for a rebuild and tri-power but that will take time. I've always like the look of a nailhead just never owned one. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Small world. Friend from TX. just picked up a 401 Buick nailhead last week! Might be headed to the frame rail's of a '56 Chev. wagon. What is your motor to go in?

Is it going in the '27 or the Merc? Either way it's a winner. Got one sitting here ready to go.

NAILHEADS ROCK!! this one is for the "FnA"...

Good to see your'e not using an sbc BUT...
Nailheads are kinda clunky. My grandpappy had a succession of Buicks, and alla them were BOATS! Laggy and all that jazz... But in a lighter car it might hold it's own. Canya put together a blower package fer it? Centrifugal or roots, it would really help.
