1955 Buick Special 264 Nailhead V8

Buick 264 Engine Rebuild

The Buick Special 264 4.3 OHV /Pushrod engine was produced from 1954-1955.  Often referred to as a Nailhead V8 engine.  Buick Specials were very popular.

We remanufactured this 1955 Buick Special 264 engine with new pistons (Egge), rings, engine bearings, gaskets, timing set and oil pump.  Everything got inspected, hot tanked and scrubbed.  Bore and honed the engine block, valve job on the cylinder heads, grind the crank and cam, a little elbow grease, coat of paint, and assembled it.

Valve Job includes: Grind valves, Cut valve seats, Resurface, Clean, Paint and assemble.

Check out the rebuild pictures, before, during and after the rebuild.

Once we finish the valve job they are ready to bolt onto the Short block which has been assembled with the engine kit parts, they will match up nicely.

    Hello,
    I’m contacting you guys to see if you can help me in the solution of a Buick 1955 Special V8-264 engine that engine was damaged when a valve spring went inside one of the cylinders.
    1) What would be the price of a reconditioned 264 engine that you sell?
    2) To recondition this engine I have, do you have a parts kit with pistons, rings, valves, bromzines, etc., to recondition it here in Brazil? This is the first time the engine has been overhauled.
    thanks,br
