    What is the value of the 401 nailhead motor? I have one that was in a 66 fully optioned Skylark and the heads have been removed (I still have them though) just curious if this is something that I should look into rebuilding, or??????

    PS I am unsure if it is the 325 or 340 HP version, any clues?

    TIA , as I am a noob when it comes to Buick engines.

    The 401 was only avail in the 1966 Skylark GS.
    The standard Skylark got a 300 or 340.
    401's have the distributor in the back, 300/340's have it in the front.

    After getting the car home I realized it is not a nailhead :ball: but a regular 340!
