Just thought I would post an update, the 261 with 302 rods from this post has been started (two weekends ago), broken in and is running great. These were rods that Charlie Baker made up for me in the late 80s before he passed away that I just this year got around to using (life, children, jobs, education, lol you know the drill). A lot more work than I expected to get those GMC rods in but they are in and the motor is running. With the higher compression, bigger bore, and tighter center line of the Schneider cam, the motor sounds a lot different than my 235 motors, more throat to the sound. I would post a video if I knew how, lol.
