Got it for a song, worth $$$$ to right folks.

Buick maybe Big block

luke warm

Ya I'm going to stick with it Buick G/S. Didn't they do a stage one stage two thing back in the late 60's early 70's

Nice coating on it I remember when yellow was the in engine color.

Bpo 350

That's a tough one. I don't recognize the color. It says 350 on it and I don't remember there being any stage one buick engines other than 400's and 455's.

Hmmm...........

Buick thats a manifold from t/a performance

Buick 350

buick,,,,,,, angled front and rear flanges,, pcv in rear,, t-stat facing forward,, all buick trademarks. andy

Buick 350 quadrajet intake off a Gran Sport, say 68 or 69, maybe a stage I?

IDLZRUF and doechsle nailed it.

Its a dual plain aluminum SBB 350 intake from TA performance.

Found it while looking for a carb for the family truckster.

They are suppose to be working on a single plain SP1 version by taking a slice out of the middle of the BBB SP1.

Also suppose to be matching aluminum heads in the works???

It's yellow, sooooo
CATAPILLAR


Isn't that what they called the "Nail Head" Buick. Had a buddy in school that had one. That was some serious kick @$$ torque.

Nail heads are older aren't they? Thought 50s to early 60s

Ummm yeah, I guess. This was in 71ish I guess (I don't remember too much of the late 60's early 70's) Maybe that wasn't a NailHead.He had a 65 or 66 Catalina convertable,,, was the same body as the 66 Impala/Caprice, just Loooooooonger. Red w/ white vinyl interior.... Beautiful land yacht
OMG what that car would be worth today!!!!

Buick, T/A perfomance. It says 350 on the back of the intake, so a wild guess would be a a Buick 350.

Nail heads, used a 'turkey pan' like RB mopars.
At least my 425 did. Wish I still had that one...

my buddy has one of the nail head engines in his shop right now. short blocked so far. heads off to the side currently. will try to get some pics this afternoon. think it's a 401 with big pop up pistons. was 10.0:1 factory on this one,, if i remember correctly. those were the factory days!! man.

Buick 401?

A motivated individual with a BFH could make that fit any engine.

:cool:

What? and mess up the prety yellow paint?:eek:

Buick!

nail heads are easy to ID from the flat valve covers.
They sit flat not at an angle.

Thats super mirror yeller powder coat which makes it perform better.
powder coated parts cool better then bare from the thermal bond it creates.

Buick 401?
yep, 310 401 425 430

even cooler intake. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NOS-OFFENHAUSER-BUICK-NAIL-HEAD-TRI-POWER-INTAKE-53-56_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ36474QQihZ005QQitemZ150136276594QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW)

Buddy is tryin to get me to install it on the truckster, but I know I could make $150 over cost on it.

I think you need to find the date code look under the intake !!! It is a 1968 intake from A stage 1 performance package ONLY available from dealers if it is it is extremely rare >>OR<< Is off a 69,70 G S [butt I dont think and not sure and if I am wrong I AM sure I will here about it is that ... dont know if they put them 69 70 350 in 71 350 stage 1 took a hit and droped to 260 hp you need the date good luck WAS ALL SO A STAGE 2 DEALER ITEM IN 69 70 71 FOR THE 350 BUICK

OLD CHEVYS NEVER DIE THEY JUST GO FASTER

I think Bushy is right, that intake is worth some nice coin in the right circle........

got some pics of the nailhead shortblock at my buddys shop. neat seeing old ones like these.
here's a teaser,, http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/6/17822290462.jpg (http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5823120)

or this link for more pics: http://www.putfile.com/superfly_64_fly/images/122362

Found this poking around looking for an all together engine pic.
Pretty sure they are easy to tell from the valve covers.
They were the pre 455 engines. Which was their flag ship badboy. weighs in 150lbs lighter then a SBC but its like glass from the lack of metal. Why most are into them original 3.8 V6 turbo cars. [not the 3800s] But its so funny as its just basically a SBB 350 missing two cylinders. [similar to how the 4.3 is a SBC 350 missin two]
Just turbo a SBB 350, dime a dozen at junk yards.
