Nailhead Guru's Need some help

I have a 59 Buick that came with a 364 Nailhead engine and Dynaflow trans.

The motor is no good. I am assuming the trans is good (clean fluids) and I have an option to get a 401 motor and transmission out of a 61 Electra 225. Will the 401 bolt up to my Dynaflow trans?

Thanks.

I've told it would. ZMAN is who you need to PM

 

As far as I know, it will.

Yes it will bolt right up.

No need to call, the answers above are correct. Now let's see some pics of the '59!! Always loved that body style!!!

 

Yep, it'll go right in... and it'll be a lot more fun... though I do love me some 364's... they're the unloved bastard child...

 

I like it when you talk dirty........................

 

Only thing I might worry about is a possible oilpan fitment issue. However if Zman says it'll go, than it should.

He's right about the more fun part. 100 extra HP and torque will wake up your car. Ask me how I know....

 

IF there is a pan issue the one off of the 364, and associated pickup, can be swapped right on.
