Yes.😳😂😜
Took a little ride this morning and this thing followed me home😄
53 nailhead pulled from a running driving Buick about a week ago.
The only thing i don't have are the exhaust manifolds.
No idea what i will do with it but its not everyday you find a running nailhead 20 minutes from your house.

I, too, would buy that because I'm a 'unique valve cover' kinda guy.
Good show, Torchie.

Thanks Gang.
Things like this don't usually show up in my neck of the woods.
A nailhead was the original engine of choice for my custom truck. I even had the Ford Transmission adapter for one.
The one I had turned out to be junk so I went with the Olds Rocket engine instead.
Part of me wants to hang on to it. Part of me says flip it and use the bread on the custom.
We shall see.
I keep reminding myself I still have 2 hemi's on the way.
