This is one nice looking GM car and powered by an original 215 Buick aluminum motor. It would make a nice retro-mod with a 4.0 Liter EFI Rover motor and a 200R4 OD transmission!?!?!?!?!

That owner is all sorts of confused. '64 aluminum nailhead? No.
Should be the 300 with aluminum heads. Wildcat 310 refers to the torque figure.

The valve covers on the 300 / 340 are stamped so that they appear to parallel the ground, like Nailhead valve covers. A lot of people get faked out by this.

The 64 also has an aluminum intake.
