The Buick Nailhead

Buick’s legendary V-8 engine from the mid-fifties to the mid-sixties is often called the “nailhead” motor due to its long, thin-stemmed valves with small diameter heads that resemble vertical rows of nails. The first Buick nailhead engines (debuting in 1953) had a 1.75″ intake and a 1.25″ exhaust valve, and even the later Wildcat 401 nailhead V-8s from the mid-sixties had valves that were much smaller than those used in Chevrolet engines at the time. However, the new Buick V-8…

New GTO Rear Window Molding Sets

As one of the most iconic muscle cars ever produced, the immense popularity of the Pontiac GTO has made it one of the most-likely-to-be-restored classic GM cars today. Rising values have made nearly any GTO in reasonable condition a good candidate for restoration. However, even the best paint and body work won’t look correct if the original window trim and molding pieces are scratched, rusted and dented. Worn or damaged window moldings will stand out like a sore thumb on…

The ZZ6: A New Crate Engine on the 60th Anniversary of the Small-Block

About twenty-five years ago the era of modern crate engines began with General Motors (GM) release of the “H.O. 350,” an all-new, high-performance small-block engine assembly that blended the best of old and new technologies through the use of hydraulic-roller cams and aluminum cylinder-heads. For perhaps the first time, the “ZZZ” stamped blocks made it as cost-effective to buy a fully assembled crate engine as to build an equivalent engine from speed shop parts. In 1990, those first ZZZ crate…
