25.01.2022 Another Buick Nailhead on the go. This one is a 62 401. All machined up, painted externally and soon to be painted internally. It’s raining Nailheads at the shop this year! #eliteenginebuilding #buick #nailhead #nailheadbuick #buickgreen #buick401 #enginebuilding #lookinggood #ilovethesethings #americaniron #nolstagic @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd



25.01.2022 Time to try and knock this beast over. This one has fought me all the way. An absolute mess from another shop! #eliteenginebuilding #fordfe #fordbigblock #cubesfordays #bigstroker #puregrunt #itsbeenachallengealright #letsgetitdone #ilovemyjob @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

24.01.2022 The 455 cube stroker FE Ford has also seen some progress. Pistons and rods fitted, Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam has been fitted and dialed up and in the processes of sorting the Edelbrock heads out. I really love my job! #eliteenginebuilding #fordperformance #fordfe #stroker #probepistons #compcams #rollercam #rollerrockers #edelbrockheads #edelbrock6x2 #stromberg97 #torquefordays #ilovewhatido #supportyourlocalenginebuilder @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

24.01.2022 Some progress has been made on the engine dyno. Next steps are to mount an engine to the stand and work out a drive shaft that can be used across multiple engine makes. Next step after that is working out throttle control. #eliteenginebuilding #enginedyno #dynodynamics #gettingthereslowly @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd



23.01.2022 Some Flathead Ford V8 speed secrets in the making!! #eliteenginebuilding #fordv8 #researchanddevelopment #makinghorsepower #flatheadfordv8 #ilovewhatido @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

23.01.2022 A few more Buick Nailhead intake manifolds for plenum modifications. These engines have really taken off in this country. I’ve gone from doing 7-10 engines a year to this year, completed 4 currently have 8 in the shop and have 5-7 more coming in. Not to mention the 5 or 6 sets of heads if done and sent off all over the country! Im loving the Nailhead love! #eliteenginebuilding #buick #nailheadbuick #buicknailhead #intakemods #horsepowergains #ilovethesethings #ilovemyjob #enginebuildingdoneright @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

22.01.2022 From one side of the engine to the other. Time to get stuck into som Buick cylinder heads.... Tomorrow, time for a beer me thinks. Happy Friday everyone, I hope you are all staying safe. #eliteenginebuilding #buick #buicknailhead #nailhead #nailheadbuick #cylinderheadsofinstagram #itneverends #valveguides #valveseatcutting @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd @ Blackburn, Victoria, Australia



21.01.2022 The crank, pistons and rods have been final fitted to this little Rover V8. Hope I can knock the heads over tomorrow and then we are pretty much there. #eliteenginebuilding #roverv8 #enginebuildingdoneright #ilovemyjob @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

20.01.2022 Another job in the shop, a blown ‘A’ model Ford 4 banger in for a rebuild. Another engine built in the states buy a supposedly reputable company that has turned out to be a disaster. Nothing I can’t fix, it will live again. #eliteenginebuilding #ford4banger #modela #sidevalveford #blown4banger #modelapickup #supportyourlocalenginebuilder #iwillsortit @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

19.01.2022 The Buick corner of the build room is not only progressing along nicely, with the amount of Nailheads out the door this year in the double digits, they have become a pretty regular sight here. Not only have I spent many years building and developing these engines, being a Buick guy, I’m very passionate about each and every build. If your in Australia and looking to get a Buick V8 built, please don’t hesitate to give me call. I don’t charge for my advice and experience! #eliteenginebuilding #buickv8 #nailheadbuick #buicknailhead #nailhead #yougottalovewhatyoudo #ilovewhatido #myadviceisfree #enginebuilding #letshaveachat @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

18.01.2022 Now here’s some pretty shots! Four Buick Nailhead V8’s, three 1955/56 322ci engines and one staunched 1962 401ci stroker. All at different stages of build and build spec. Being a Buick guy, I love these things and have spent many years developing them. If your in Australia and need one of these rebuilt, give me a call. #eliteenginebuilding #buick #nailhead #nailheadbuick #americaniron #nolstagic #cultfollowing #ilovethesethings #nocornerscuthere #attentiontodetails #ilovemyjob #enginebuildingdoneright @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

17.01.2022 Another job I’m trying to get through are these Alfa Romeo cylinder heads. They are being modified for competition use. I’m grafting in 7mm stemmed Ford valves with larger heads to hopefully improve flow. #eliteenginebuilding #alfaromeo #alfasud #clubsprints #racingonabudget #thinkingoutsidethebox @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd



17.01.2022 My good mate Shaun from @desertspeedbuick got me out of the shit with this mint water manifold for a 56 322ci Nailhead nearing completion. Definitely look this guy up, his got some great Nailhead and hot rod related stuff. Also his inventory is growing regularly!! Thank you champion. #eliteenginebuilding #buick #nailhead #buicknailhead #hardtogetparts #thankyou @desertspeedbuick @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

16.01.2022 Two more Buick Nailheads currently underway. Both of these are 1956 322ci engines. Here are some shots of me mocking up the bottom end, measuring deck heights and then setting blocks up in the mill to machine the decks down to give desired deck height. Both engines should be painted inside and out and ready for assembly by mid next week. @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd #buick #nailhead #nailheadbuick #americaniron #enginebuildingbasics #almostreadyforassembly @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

14.01.2022 Working through these V8 Rover heads this morning. #eliteenginebuilding #rover #roverv8 #cylinderheadmachining #enginebuilding #automachinist @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

14.01.2022 The owner of this beautiful Flathead Ford V8 stroker came in today to drop off some more goodies for his build. This one has been a long term project but another no corners cut build. It certainly has all paid off, it certainly looks the goods. It still needs a few tweaks here and there and a few more decisions need to be made. But damn, it’s a pretty motor, well done @cam_427 I’m looking forward to strapping it to the engine dyno! #eliteenginebuilding #flathead #ford #fordv8 #sidevalvev8 #iconic #littleblacknumber #nocornerscut #doitoncedoitright #vintagespeedequipment #gooddecisionsweremadehere #ilovemyjob @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

13.01.2022 A 1956 322ci Buick Nailhead 4 barrel manifold that I’ve machined to be dual plane. I’ve also machined up an adapter plate to be able to fit a larger modern Edelbrock carb. This modification carried out on a healthy engine is good for up to 50 horsepower over the standard setup! Money well spent I’d say. #eliteenginebuilding #buick #nailhead #nailheadbuick #cartercarburetor #edelbrockperformance #dualplanemanifold #tipsntricks #manualmachining #enginebuildingdoneright #performancegains @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

12.01.2022 And I’m done! Both Buick blocks line bored to bottom size. All sharp edges hand filed, bearings fitted out to both blocks, crush and contact checked and confirmed. Sizes for the crank have been obtained and both cranks have been dropped off to my grinder for re-grinding. Both engines are sailing along smoothly. #eliteenginebuilding #buick #nailhead #nailheadbuick #lineboring #precisionwork #nocornerscuthere #checkeverything #bearingcrush #crankregrind #enginebuilding #enginebuildingdoneright #gettingthere #ilovemyjob #ilovetheseengines @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd @ Blackburn, Victoria, Australia

12.01.2022 The bottom end is basically sorted on this Ford FE stroker. Now it’s time to get the top end sorted and together. This engine has been an absolute nightmare to get back together. It was built by a supposed guru in America (I would love to mention names but I won’t). Folks, I’ve seen some shit in my time, but never have I seen bastardization at these levels! The clown that first built this should hand his trade papers back! #eliteenginebuilding #fordv8power #fepower #fordstroker #cubicinchesfordays #ihatepretenders #bastardry #allfixednow #becarefulwhoyoutrust @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

11.01.2022 When a customer asks for a camshaft that gives great steetabilty but delivers maximum performance with a chop chop idle, this is my go to grind!

10.01.2022 I’ve finally found some time to get this 1920’s Rover 16 apart and through the cleaning tanks. It certainly is very complicated for the era. Single over head solid roller cam on the intake and a solid roller cam follower with a horizontal pushrod operating a rocker arm for the exhaust. Tubular connecting rods, I didn’t believe it when I saw it but the beam of the rod is hollow!! For the 20’s!! These engines have many weird and wonderful bits and pieces, keep following for updates. #eliteenginebuilding #rover #rover16 #vintageengines #bigfour #ilovethechallenge @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

09.01.2022 I will be getting back onto this historic F1 Coventry Climax FPF engine in the coming weeks. This is a very exciting build. This car has very significant racing history, this history included Sir Jack Brabham and Lex Davidson. I’m really looking forward to making progress on this one. I bloody love my job!! #eliteenginebuilding #coventryclimaxengine #historicf1 #realracehistory #excitingbuild #ilovewhatido @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

08.01.2022 Wowee.... some good looking engines right there. A couple of sex appeal photos for the end of the week. Damn I love what I do!! #eliteenginebuilding #sexy #artwork #enginebuildingdoneright #nocornerscut #ilovemyjob @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

07.01.2022 Another little Alfa Romeo for the guys @hvraustralia This one is a 2ltr version and apparently has some suspicious timing chain related noises. Otherwise it is strong and healthy. I will carry out the minimum tear down to inspect and diagnose and hopefully it will go back together with nothing more than some fresh gaskets and a new chain set. Fingers crossed hey!! #eliteenginebuilding #alfaromeo #timingchainreplacement #hopefullythatsit #fingerscrossed #offtofightanotherday @hvraustralia @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

07.01.2022 Some more steps forward on this stroker small Bloch chev. The @compcamsofficial camshaft has been dialed in and I’m just clearance checking a few things to see if any adjustments can be made to free up a few more ponies and a few more feet of torque. It’s all or nothing right?? #eliteenginebuilding #sbc350 #383stroker #scatcranksandrods #alloyheads #perfectioninthemaking #nocornerscut #ilovemyjob #anditlooksgoodtoo @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

05.01.2022 Ford FE Edelbrock 6x2 inlet manifold needs a trim. I just squared the head up in the mill too!! #eliteenginebuilding #fordfebigblock #edelbrock #edelbrock6x2 #manualmachining #automotivemachining #nocornerscut @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

05.01.2022 Another small step step forward on the 350/383ci Chev. Pistons and rods fitted and deck heights checked and confirmed. At some stage next week I will carry out the Torrington thrust bearing conversion on the cam sprocket and then dial up the cam. I truly do love my job! #eliteenginebuilding #chevy #383stroker #scatcrankshafts #scatrods #nocornerscuthere #attentiontodetails #iconiccolor #handbuilt #enginebuildingdoneright #ilovewahatido @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

04.01.2022 This little Rover V8 is getting ready for its trip to the hydro blaster. @woodys_hydroblast it’s on its way! #eliteenginebuilding #morganv8 #roverv8 #aluminium #hyrdoblasting #onitsway @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

03.01.2022 A few distractions and interruptions today, but I got them done eventually. Now I’ve got to set them up in the mill and give them a haircut! #eliteenginebuilding #rover #roverv8 #cylinderheadmachining #multianglevalveseats #rvr2 #greatoldmachines #aussiemade #ilovemyjob @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

03.01.2022 This little 1956 322 Buick Nailhead isn’t too far away from going back home. Waiting for some plating to come back and some exhaust manifolds to be ceramic coated. #eliteenginebuilding #buick #nailhead #buicknailhead #nailheadbuick #isitartwork #enginebuildingdoneright #prettylittlenumber #ilovewhatido @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

01.01.2022 Another awesome Buick nailhead project I’m proud to be a part of. This one is a blown 401. Originally built in Australia in the 60’s with 6-71 equipped 425 (purchased brand new from Buick USA), it has traded hands a few times over and has managed to find its way into the hands of the son of the original builder. The blown 425 is longer with it, however it will be replaced with a 6-71 equipped 401. This is an awesome story and I’m glad to be a part of it. Check out those flat top Jahns pistons, it must have had next to no comp! You will also see in one of the photos how NOT to sleeve a cylinder! #eliteenginebuilding #nailheadbuick #buick #buicknailhead #blownnailhead #671blower #vintagespeedparts #greatstory #greathistory #aussiebuilt #backinthefamily @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

01.01.2022 This 1956 322ci Buick nailhead is nearing completion and should be fired up in a week or so. Hopefully it will be back in the car and out the door before Christmas. #eliteenginebuilding #buick #nailhead #nailheadbuick #1956 #hopefullydonebychristmas @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

01.01.2022 Well, another week done and dusted. It’s been another extremely busy yet extremely productive week. I have recently completed a few engines that I haven’t been able to share with you all (hence my quietness on the socials), but here are some shots of my build room. Currently mostly full of big cube V8’s all in different stages of build. I will send out a stubby cooler to anyone out there that can guess the amount of cubic inches currently on engine stands in these photos. That’s anyone in the world and plus or minus five cubes. #eliteenginebuilding #productivity #v8severywhere #cubicinchesfordays #chevy #ford #buick #holden #enginebuildingdoneright #nocornerscuthere #supportsmallbusiness #supportyourlocalenginebuilder #ilovemyjob @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd

01.01.2022 Tony’s 1956 322ci Buick Nailhead has made a heap of progress this week. It won’t be too long now and it will be back in the car. Hopefully a nice little Christmas present. #eliteenginebuilding #buick #buicknailhead #nailhead #buickv8powered #nailheadbuick #enginebuildingdoneright #nocornerscuthere #lookingpretty #tooclean #supportyourlocalenginebuilder #ilovemyjob @elite_engine_building_pty_ltd
