Large Scale Buick Nailhead ?

[Jon Haigwood]

Looking for a Large Scale 1/10 Buick Nailhead. I am working on a couple 1/8th Scale T Buckets and the 1/8th engines I got are to large for this application. I just tried a 1/12 scale thinking it might they might be a bit small  but they are too small. Hoping 1/10 might work just unsure if anyone has any available. I know I could use the SBC that came with it but this build calls for a Nailhead.

I think if you email Texas 3D Customs, he will print it in that size for you

I had a discussion about that and I don't think it is feasible enough for him  

Since this post I have talked to  club member the prints drag engines and bodies and he could do it if he can find the files

Well he wont find my files that I can promise you, these are not Cult3D files, but 1:10 scale is something that I do offer, I am not sure why this engine doesn't have that option but there was a time where I was thinking about cutting it out.

I have purchased many of your engines and would love to get a couple of them in 1/10 should they come available.

Most of my engines are already available in 1/10 scale

I have the Ron Olsen 3D Uncertain-T files that has a Buick Nailhead, but as I understand it the files are a SBC block with Buick parts added.  Plus it is a fuel injection intake, not sure if that is the intake style you want.  The files had some parts at 1/12th Scale and some at 1/6th, but they could be scaled to whatever you want to print.  Ron has an account on the Cults3D website, but the engine from the Uncertain-T isn't listed separately.  You can try contacting Ron to see if you can get the engine parts alone from him.  Here is a link to Ron's account:

There is also another seller on Cults3D doing the Uncertain-T in 1/25th scale that has the Nailhead engine, and it says it has parts to build the Steve Scott version and the tribute car that was built in Australia.  You could try contacting them also to see if they will sell the engine by itself if you don't want to buy the whole kit.

Also, doing a search on Cults3D shows the following Buick Nailhead engine and an optional blower intake for it:

And on another website is this 1/10th scale RC Nailhead engine:

I hope this helps you out.

First thing this morning I received an email from some sellers on Cults3d that I follow, and this was one of them for a 1/24th Scale Buick Nailhead "Wildcat" Upgrade:

My plan was to build a Tommy Ivo T tribute, That calls for a Nailhead with injector stacks. Like the1/8th and 1/12th scale I all ready purchased. I am using the 1/8th Golden T as a donor and the 1/8th is to large and the 1//12th is to small . Hoping a 1/10 will work. 

My other build is a Kookie T tribute, also using a Golden T as a donor. I was going to use  a similar Nailhead but I found a parts to make the kit engine work.  I think Norms T had a Cad engine. 

Now finding some white pinstripes is another thing altogether. 

Trying to get as close to the original Ts as possible but will only be close, that's why I call them Tributes and not Replicas.

Yeah I think that was a bad idea, the flathead that is, the Nailhead is significantly bigger than the Flathead.
