Building a 261
I picked up a running (supposedly) '55 261. Motor #3733950. I also picked up a 235 with a bad lower end. The 235 has the good 848 head.
I also got a set of Fenton headers. Besides that I am looking for some advice on cam, intake, ignition, carb etc. On a budget of course. Tranny is yet to be determined. Right now it is a SM-420. Would like to go with a variation of a 5 speed OD manual. Thanks guys.....you are a wealth of info!! |

Re: Building a 261
If you use the 235 head you should drill it to match the block. 235 was missing some of the water holes 261 has
