Am in the process of rebuilding a 1960 261. Does this engine require shimming the main bearings?

No, and you might want to consider getting a shop manual.

Yes; They are on e-bay all the time, starting at $20.00.
Good luck, John M.....

I do have a shop manual for my '54 261. Do you have to shim the main bearings for a '54 261? I was thinking not.

Here is the gospel! I installed the crank today and it turned as easy as could be.So by my inductive resoning, 58 through 62 blocks do not need crankshaft shims. Only problem now is the wrong rod bearings sent. GMC rod bearings do not work in a Chevy!
