Centurion Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I received a telephone call yesterday from a friend who is an experienced engine rebuilder, but he has never rebuilt a Buick nailhead.He has a customer who has purchased a 1962 Buick 401 nailhead, and the customer wants to put a manual transmission behind the nailhead and install the set-up in a 1950 Ford custom project.He needs a manual transmission bell housing, clutch, flywheel, etc. Will he need a crankshaft, since the engine came out of a Dynaflow car? Is there an adapter available that will allow him to use a manual transmission?Better still, can you point me to an expert individual who can answer all the nailhead questions? Thanks!

old-tank Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 In addition to Russel Martin download the Offenhauser catalogue: http://www.exeterautosupply.com/Inventory.html...find the number of the adapter you need and search the web. They show up on Ebay all the time; also Crager uses the same numbers as Offy.Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
