In 1931, it began with the straight-8 engine, using overhead valve (OHV) technology while most of the other manufacturers were using 4- or 6-cylinder valve-in-block designs. When all of the GM divisions were converting to V-8 OHV postwar designs, Buick joined the party in 1953 with a design that was dubbed the \"Nailhead.\" This design lasted a little too long, and Buick finally replaced it in 1967 with a more modern design. The new design lasted until the mid-1970s, when emissions compliance spelled the end for big-blocks, and in 1980 for the 350. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBuick V-8 Engines 1967-1980: How to Rebuild\u003c\/i\u003e, veteran author Mike Forsythe takes you through the complete process of rebuilding and restoring a Buick V-8 to factory condition.
