I've known Nick over 30 years.

Was just there a few weeks ago trying to talk him out of a block he was saving for hemi dart he wanted to build someday.

He told me another couple of years and he was going to "retire" and work on all his cars.

We here were incredibly fortunate to have such a good guy and friend to do our machine work here locally.

RIP Nick, top notch guy for sure. I got to know him just this year while he built me a killer 416 and I know he was looking to take it a little easier. Thoughts and Prayers to his whole family, he will be missed by a lot of people.

So sad to hear this. I never met him but he had my old 64' Savoy which I heard was an animal. RIP Nick.

WOW, sorry to hear this and man life is a short and unpredictable journey......

Very sorry to hear this, RIP Nick, prayers sent to the family.

Steve

rest in peace Nick you will be missed

Met Nick in 2001. His son and mine played soccer in the yard while I talked w/Nick. Bought many things from him over the yrs. After my son died in 2011 Nick always asked how my wife and I were doing. He was a very caring and genuine person. I will miss him.
RIP Nick you will be missed by many.

Sad to hear this...Nick was a good dude.

RIP

Never met him but I bought a set of T&D rockers for my 440-1 heads from him and we talked on the phone twice. One of the few guys that I never heard a bad word said about and that's tough in the business he was in. Nick, his Family, and Friends are in my thoughts and Prayers.

RIP my friend


At a loss for words right now................

To me Nick was everything that was RIGHT in this sport. Nick was a no BS engine guy and racer that would always help you with parts or service that would only make you go faster.
I have lost a friend that I have learned so much from for the past 30 plus years I have known him.

We will all miss your wheel standing Plymouth at Norwalk this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnn4gQysY0E

Gus, cheers my friend

Spoke with Nick a couple months back. Great guy to deal with and very knowledgeable. My prayers to his family during this very difficult time.
RIP Nick

It's hard to believe, I met Nick 22 years ago. He built me a 440 for my dart when I was pretty young. I'll never forget my Dad calling Nick and saying,"This engine isn't what we thought it would be." Nick was nervous and willing to help out in any way possible. My Dad then followed up with "No, that's not the problem. We're all afraid to drive it!" Since then Nick has built me two additional engines. We recently moved about 5 minutes from CompuFlow. I drove the Dart down just to show Nick it was finally running and street worthy. Still working the bugs out of the car, I was having cooling issues. He insisted he followed me to my house to make sure that I got home alright. Nick was my biggest cheerleader when it came to the car. He will be greatly missed by all. At the Chrylser Classic, he always had his customer appreciation meal. I don't think he knew how much we appreciated him. He was always willing to help out in any way possible. You will be missed Nick. Rest in Piece

So sorry to hear of this. RIP my friend. Ron

Very Sorry To Hear. We were all praying for him.



Rest in Peace Nick!

RIP Nick.

Nick.

Bring people the backwind in your passing.
You will be missed.
He had done some minor port and valve work on an early motor years back and was very helpful with answering all my concerns.
I know he worked closely with the JDay team in Ohio, another concerned family of Mopar racers.
Aside from that, he and his Son were very applied.

Rest your physical self, but your soul shall travel still.

Condolences to his family.
R.I.P Mr.Wilson

great guy gave good advice and very helpful going to be missed
RIP Nick

Prayers for Nick and his family. I'll miss our conversations.
Doug

Condolences to the family.

RIP NICK I'll miss you and thought's go out to the family!

RIP Nick. My dealings were limited, but I had planned more in the future. The Mopar community lost a good one.

RIP Nick. He took time out of his day to discuss, in detail, how he would build a 400-based stroker for my Scamp. He knew I was on the fence with regard to keeping the car/building the engine vs. selling the car, but he still spent time discussing details, options, costs, etc... He didn't have to do that, but he did, and he was gracious about it. That's service that is hard to find these days. A true credit to the car community in general.

Very sorry to hear this. Only spoke w/ him once when I bought my hemi headers from him...one heck of a nice guy to deal with.

Very sad to hear this. Thought and prayers to his family

Knowing Nick had health issues for a number of years I still can't believe he's gone

I first met Nick back in the 80's when he was buying valve seals from our family business and it didn't take long for us to become friends. Later I found out he used to own my Barracuda. Just this June Nick helped me out with modifying an intake valve for my motor and ordered some gaskets. I thanked him for his help and business at the time but wanted to give him a call to let him know everything was A-OK, the motor was back together and thank him again, guess I'll have to wait for that.

God speed Nick and prayers for his family & friends

Nick did my cylinder heads back in the late 90's my car ran great, I heard he had a heart attack and was in the hospital, how long was he in there before he passed away??

Sorry to hear he passed.He was one of the real good guys.Rocky

Sad to hear. RIP....

If never met him and never heard anything but good things about him.

RIP

Nick was truly one of the most genuine people I have ever met. No matter what was going on he would talk and answer questions or give advice. As a person he was great. As a business man he was the best. He always gave all options and explained his ideas. I will miss speaking to him. When I called the shop today and spoke with his son and received the news I was at a total loss for words. My you find peace and your family find closure with your loss. Your friend Joe from philly.

Rest in Peace Nick. You were the best, and helped me out immensely. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Wilson family.Godspeed.

I need to say more than just RIP, I met Nick when I was 19, he was always a busy man he worked for a landing gear company and worked on mopar engines for his friends and his competition. LoL...I bought a set of 915 heads from him and they exceeded all expectations. I could go on with many different stories. ..but I can say I am glad I got to know you and you did great things for your friends and family GODSPEED NICK and God Bless the Wilson the family

rip my friend my thoughts and prayers to the Wilson family

Thanks for posting that! I was looking in the local paper today and didn't see anything.

Sorry to see you go so young Nick RIP ..... Keith

Great guy. Nick was always willing to help anyone and had a reputation that was second to none. You will be missed Nick Wilson. RIP

Very sad ! He will be missed . He was a great engine builder , but more then that he was a great person !!!!

Sad news. Been thinking of him the last couple of days, hoping for a recovery. His family and this hobby have lost a great one. What a genuine person. Thank, Nick!

RIP Nick was a great friend and a great man. Prayers to family during this hard time.

So sorry

RIP Nick. I talked to him a couple of months ago . . . I can't believe that he's gone. It makes you think how any day could be your last.

for sure. i still have his emails he sent a few weeks ago.

RIP Nick
I never met him but had the chance to exchange some ideas over the phone a
few times. He seemed like a real easy going guy, and I can easily
understand why he had such a loyal customer base. It's obvious from
all the posts that he will be missed by many.

A true friend. I will miss him. Nick and I did business for 15 years. He was always there for me. Many a discussion was about family and how important that was. He will be missed by many.

Bob Spelic

The world lost a good guy and will be a lesser place without him. Rest in peace Nick. You will be sorely missed. John

RIP Nick

I never got to meet Nick in person but we did talk on the phone, he was very helpful and seemed like a great guy. Our condolences to the family during this difficult time. The Mopar crowd lost another good one. May you rest in peace Nick

I am both saddened & stunned. Nick built the 520" engine in my SuperCar legal '68 Sport Fury. Met him at Carlisle a few years ago when I took delivery of that engine.

My thoughts are with his family.

RIP Nick.

I'm really gonna miss driving over to visit Nick on my day off just to drool over some of the engines in the build room/office. While there are other builders and cylinder head porters out there Nick was unique because he raced in the class that he built engines for.
His presence in the pits at Norwalk this year will be felt by everyone.
Gus

I didn't know Nick well,But I did know him for 28
years.In 1987 my brother was converting a 318 satellite
to 440 power and he bought most of the stuff from Nick.
At the time he lived in North Ridgeville and he had a barn
full of Mopar stuff. I remember being really Impressed
by this total Mopar freak. I'll miss him. RIP
Mike

Sorry to hear this, I always enjoyed talking to Nick at Compuflow and at the track, always willing to stand there and share knowledge and explain stuff even though you could tell he was super busy. He will be missed.

Very sad time for us who knew Nick ! Going to really miss him !

Very sorry to hear this.

Nick talked me into a set of Indy SRs heads way back when and saved me over $1000 when he could have just as easily took my money.

RIP
