Hot Rods Why I love my Nailhead (try this with your small block Chev)

Pete

 

Lol!! That ain't right.

 

just another reason why nailheads rule!

 

I have a bench for that. That's funny though.

 

Damn! The jealousy just creeps in, I so badly want to start a car I can put my 401 in!! Pete, not only is your car bitchin' but the mill is first class!

Doc.

 

that Chill sure is good stuff!!

 

Yeah, it's flavoured mineral water for beer drinkers. I can actually notice the health benefits when I drink it.

Hey Doc. What's stopping you starting your nailheaded project?

 

nothing cooler than the nailhead sound..

 

You're right. I could never stand a girly drink on the valve cover of my SBC.

 

Hey Pete did you realise that Millers Chill stuff is brewed in Sydney?

 

ahahahaha i got a good laugh out of this one. well done sir

 

Ha, aint it true!!

 

Oh shit Swifty....more local swill

 

That was funny. nice looking uick too.

 

The Nailhead is down in Melbourne in a friends garage, pristine 30thou over block. Slowly collecting parts as I can afford them, living on a Veterans Affairs pension doesn't pay a whole lot.
Couldn't afford to do the work needed on my 38 so I gave it to my parents, had an A RPU project that I had to sell, then the Nailhead was going into a Gasser A-40, all that bar the Nailhead is gone. I just cant bring myself to sell it.

Doc.

 

Awesome shot mate.
Long live the Nailhead.

 

Hope you find a way Doc. Hang onto that 401. While you have it, the dream stays alive.

 

Yea, but is it Running in the pic?

 

......maybe

 

Hahahahaha .

 

What is interesting about the nailheads...my ol mechanic (85 yrs old)...has worked on many cars in his basement...for winter time when he had to start the cars in his basement, he had a heavy duty commercial rubber hose that he installed in his furnace pipe and ran this from the tailpipe into the furnace duckwork...

The buicks were the only car that would make the rubber hose start burning and smelling....huuummmm.

 

Used to do that with my 401 powered '64 Electra.
Funny, I thought it was due to my tuning skills...

 

If it is the cam needs more lift and durration!

 

Rad engine, but u got shit taste in beer brother!

 

Hell yeah, I have dreamed of a Nailhead since the first time I saw one as a kid! One day.......

Doc.

 

Beautiful nailhead!

 

Maybe Aussies are just Brits but why would you use an engine to warm up your beer?

 

that works on my Stude flathead six too,,,but it prefers craft beer

 

Great looking nailhead.

Now im wishing i never sold my T-bucket with the 401.

 

Thumbs up man!!!
Good point.
Cheers........
