Anyone know anything about nailheads

So I am thinking about putting a buick nailhead in my coupe build but dont know a damn thing about them. What should or shouldnt I look for as in years, size, etc. How are they to work on or to get parts for compared to a sbc? Reliabilty? Also I want a manual trans so what do I look for there? thanks.
