Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines Junkyard 261?

I found what I think is a mostly complete 261 at the junk yard in an old Pontiac car (Canada). It's hooked up to what looks like a powerglide tranny. Having trouble confirming that it's a 261 not a 235 due to the years of crud on the motor. Given that it's in real questionable shape, is it worth picking up if I can get it cheap?

bob,
i understand canadian pontiacs of the 50s' originally came with 261s'. is it worth picking up? that's entirely up to you. my only thought is that 261s' aren't growing on trees.
