Howdy,
I have been graced with my uncle's generosity.A rough 59 Chevy Spartan 60 dumptruck with a 261....for free!!!
Currently, I'm restoring a 1953 Chevy Cabover with the babbited 235.The frame has been sandblasted and painted and ready for a powerplant.Will the 261 bolt right in? Will the updraft carb from the 235 fit too? What other considerations should I know about.
I'am truly excited by the prospect of installing that 261 into my cabover.I plan to keep everything else original in this rig.
Ron
