Picked up a Buick Nailhead 425 for the truck

Wanted to see if there were any drawbacks to popping this old Nailhead into the truck; it came with a TH400 trans. Been meaning to find a V8 for it and this came along. Hoping to get it rebuilt soon.

You guys see any issue with a Buick like this in a C20 pickup?

Re: Picked up a Buick Nailhead 425 for the truck

I am not up on all things nail head, but they are a torquey motor. So it should be a very acceptable engine for a truck.

What year are you going to putnthe engine in?

f I can get it rebuilt, hopefully this year. However, I have been known to procrastinate.
