    Does anyone remember this book,of sorts?
    I saw it round years ago,it's about A4 in size with a black and white soft cover. It was'nt very thick,more like a magazine.
    Is it still available? Is worth locating? I had a look for it in the usuall places,but could not find it?

    Yes, I've got one. Seems as tho KB was in on that project. Written by Martyn Schorr. Published by Performance Publications in NY, produced by Performance Media. If needed, I could copy it.

    A while back, either Street Rodder or Custom Rodder (can't remember which) magazine did a several part series on building a nailhead. It wasn't a balls out motor as I recall, but it was hotter than stock. I would suggest a search through the archives of those two mags, you might find the articles.

    Go to webrodder.com
    The guy that built that motor has all the info there. It was for Street Rodder.

    Very little info on nailheads, other than casual mention in the history of it. I have the book copied. I would be willing to send it to someone who can scan it and maybe post it somehwere.
