The Nailhead was a throwback to the early overheadvalve engine design, and that unique design makes it a popular choice for period-correct hot rod projects. In addition, if your torquey Nailhead resides between the fenders of a Buick Special, LeSabre, Invicta, Roadmaster, Riviera, Century, Skylark, Wildcat, or Electra 225, this book will help you keep that old beauty on the road. • First how-to book ever published on this engine • Thousands of 1953–1966 Buicks still roam the streets today • The Nailhead is an extremely popular choice for early Ford Hot Rod engine swaps CONDITION: AUTHOR: Gary Weldon AUTHOR BIO: Gary did his first Nailhead rebuild on a 364 aided by a lot of mentoring from fellow car club members. He added a turbocharger and installed it in a 1930 Model A Ford that took the Weldon family on their annual vacation to the Street Rod Nationals for several years. Starting in 1981, he made an annual pilgrimage driving that hot rod to Speed Week. This led to building a Nailhead-powered roadster with his friend Harold Watson that they used to compete in land speed racing from North Carolina to Utah for 20 years. Gary was inducted into the Canadian Street Rodding Hall of Fame 2011 and became a member of the Hall of Fame steering committee two years later. Gary has built over a dozen performance Nailheads over the years and still works on them to this day.
