Nailhead Coupe vs. Blown Hemi at HAMB Drags

[milwaukeegregg]

nails are really nostalgic but a blown392 well this is more of a street fight not a beauty pageant.....

[hoplite46]

what is a nail head?

[bchris12770]

Muncie M-20. They do have a different bellhousing.

Nice shifting man, even if a blower motor beat you, no shame. What tranny you running? Also does that nailhead have a specific buick bell housing pattern or is it a standard GM type?

[308RoadReady]

@62chevrolet nailheads have a one of a kind bolt pattern. They make adaptor kits which are expensive to bolt to any kind of trany known to man if thats what your after but buicks up until 62 had the torque tube making conversions expensive since most trannys people want to swap out for are open end driveshaft trannys.

A stock Nailhead dragging around two and a half tons of my 59 Buick scares the crap out of the tuners round here!

Nailhead sounds sweet.. Would take the nailhead over the Hemi anyday!

Cool video, but that track is kinda scary. A little rough.

[prestotodayo]

who would normally win the nailhead, or hemi?

[rodshop12770]

His Hemi has a blower, so he is out of my class. But it was fun any way!

[chompychomps]

I bet the nailhead lasts longer.

[Boredout454]

@prestotodayo The 392 Hemis and later the 426 Hemi's were always the engine of choice for dragsters and for the street. IF you didnt have one you were usually at a disadvantage.
