Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines COMPLETE 59' 261 worth??????

I paid $250.00 for my '57 261. It didn't run, had a cracked piston and broken rocker arm. Your '59 is more desirable than mine I think. Had I known what I know know about these motors I would have paid double for a motor of the year and condition of yours. Come to think of it I may have paid a little more, but I'm stingy when it comes to an old motor that I would pull apart for a rebuild anyway.
