The '61 Buick Nailhead 401 in my 32 roadster

 

My 261 Chevrolet 6-

 

Well this is my Flathead from when I got it to when it was fitted.... Still a lot to do but it looks OK

Head OFF .... ooo bit of a mess



Inlets OFF .... ooo more mess



Block dipped and crack tested ... turns out it was cracked...

So here is the replacement


Fresh Block with fresh stuff




Finally done, fully re-decked, gas flowed, matched ports etc etc
Many Thanks to Jim at Royal Kustoms.

My '62 401, made to look like a '55 364. Just waiting on a tranny bracket...

 

This is in the bay of one of my current f bodies, I dig the day-two look in my classic muscle cars. 396, custom machined hemi breathers into the top of the valve covers where funky bowties used to reside (cut them down dramatically so they sit level). Machined out the moon air cleaner top ribs to clear a spot for the 396 fender emblem off a chevelle or something. oh the things you can do with a Bridgeport mill and a polishing wheel. Aluminum heads and air gap were cleaned up (lettering removed) tumbled and clear coated, different look. Later model car but ideas that maybe someone can use.

 

nice touch on the air cleaner, I like the phrase "day two"

 

Here's my 1962 Ford Fairlane 500 Sports Coupe's new Transplant - a 1963 289.

Ain't nothing lacking when your Cadillacin...

 

AM[/303 Olds in 29RPU. 6 97s on Gotha manifold.

 

No mater how hard I tried it still looks like a shiny create motor!!

 

To be continued...

 

True, but it looks clean and it's yours, which makes it pretty cool to you, which is what really matters.

 

still looking for a home.

 

Thanks for this post. A ton of good details tips here. Gary
