'61 364 Nailhead..feelings and thoughs

Is anyone running one of these? Feedback please, I got a handle on one for decent bucks!

 

Great motors.....expensive to build, but worth it. Tons of torque, strong lower end (forged steel crank and rods), and a unique look.

I have a 401 in a roadster and I am going to put a 425 in another project.Nailheads look cool and are very strong engines just a bit pricey to build.They used to use them in boats also so try old drag boat sites for speed parts.

 

I have a 61 Lesabre with a 364 in it....great motor if I can ever get it to cool down a couple degrees. I think My timing is off though now

 

Im looking for a nailhead to put in my 34 ford pu..im in texas,,, anyone have one????

 

If you find one, drop me a line. I just stuck a 401 in a '33 coupe and can give you some pointers on how to route the steering and exhaust (things get tight on the drivers side since the starter gets in the way).
