    I have a 76 buick century and I am really into Buicks. I was wondering how hard it would be to switch from a Buick 350 to a nalhead? Would I have to find a trans aswell?

    yes you would have to find a different transmission.

    Harder than if you swapped in a 455. At least with that swap you could use factory frame pads and motor mounts, keep the same trans, and the engine accessories would be relatively painless. You will need to swap the trans too if you go Nailhead, the bellhousing pattern is unique.

    I'd probly use a 65 or 66 buick for a nailhead motor, something that came with one. Thanks
