Actually, Bob was along on the recovery as co-pilot and technical advisor. The 261 is mine, not for sale at the moment unless you are feeling rather generous. But I now have a late style 235 that the 261 has made redundant. Keep watching - you never know what will appear, I found the 261 on Kijiji listed as "1961 Pontiac 261". I hope you can find an engine close to you to keep shipping costs down. The 261 seemed like a bargain to me for $400 including a cast iron powerglide transmission. It was complete from fan to transmission output, included air cleaner, starter and generator. Without testing I don't know the conditionfor sure, but the previous owner removed it last fall to convert to a V-8 and said he was happy with it except that the V-8 had pretty much been given to him and he wanted to make the car more like what he'd driven when younger.

West Coast jewel
... there was a 261 for sale in BC in the last 2 months on Kijiji
Grab them while you can.... Fully rebuilt 261 are avaialble at around $2600 US on Ebay..... done locally can cost $3600 CDN. Shop around...... 235 are more plentiful...... best bet is to network with Hot Rod clubs..... most of their members will buy a prestine Chebby with a 6 cyl. and replace it with a V 8....... such engines are usually cheaper to buy as they are castaway......
