Putting up for sale a 1961 401 Nailhead engine. this is the perfect motor for your nostalgic hot rod build. This is a very clean engine (check out the pictures) with about 50K on it. It came from a running/driving car. Its currently sitting on a stand and i'd be willing to pull some things on it for you to inspect it more closely. I was planning to use it in my hot rod build but there's been a change of plans with my build. If you're looking for a clean motor for your build that has big power as a stock engine and is EASY to work on then this is the way to go. Forget spending several $1,000 to get a flathead running and then an additonal several $1,000 to get any power out of it. These 401 Nailheads were traditionally used in hot rod builds and are becoming more and more popular in hot rod builds today because they are different and powerful motors when they are bone stock. The 401 nailhead has PLENTY of torque and they are known to be reliable engines. This 401 nailhead is rated at 325 horsepower and 425lb/ft of torque at factory rating. The engine is located near Windham, CT.
This Nailhead needs to find a new home so if you're interested; give me a call and come and see it. Thanks for looking
