Buy a 3.5 L Rover. Nailhead Buick design was sold to British Motors Corp. in the 60's. Steve
I'm glad that you knew what the OP wanted, Steve.. I was going to refer him to the metal working group for milling machines..

Not so. The 3.5L (215 c.i.) aluminum V8 used in the Land Rover was a Buick design but bears no resemblence to the iron Nailhead Buick used from '53-'66 in displacements of 322-425. The Nailhead is distinguishable by its verticle valve covers and is so-called because of its tiny valves that resemble the heads of nails.
I beg to disagree. It was also sold in the 225 CI size in aluminum and was also a very popular engine for Midget Sprint Cars with the front 2 cylinders chopped of the block on methanol. This is what BMC bought the rights to. Steve
I stand by my OP.
