Question:
The air cleaner on my engine
says "Wildcat". Does that mean that my engine is from a
Wildcat?
Answer:
Buick Motor
Division used the word "Wildcat" on most of the engines from
1959 through 1967 and is a Buick Trademark.
The numbers included on the
air cleaner are foot-pounds of torque, which was how Buick actually
identified the engine.
Examples: "310
Wildcat" = 300-2bbl "445
Wildcat" = 401-4bbl "465 Wildcat"
= 425-4bbl "Super Wildcat" =
425-2x4bbl
This information and much
more will be found in the Chassis Service
Manual. |

Question:
Why do they call the early
design V-8 from 1953 thru 1966, such as a "322",
"401" or "425", a NAILHEAD V-8?
Answer:
In the early 50's the racers
and hot rod crowd nicknamed this engine the Nail-Valve V-8 because the
first engines had a very small exhaust valve that reminded them of a
framing nail. This term later became Nailhead, which is now
commonly used. |
