Update on 216 to 261 engine switch

[Phil Waterman]

First thanks Guys for the feed back and suggestions

Yes, I am pretty sure that the block can be bored to take out the scrapes. The rocker arms show more wear than anything which makes me suspect that is a engine is a short block replacement which reused an earlier head. Engine was definitely a transplant in to the truck I found it in . Think I’ll be able to use the exhaust manifold at least for test purpose may switch over to the spit exhaust manifold. I’ll post some more pictures to my web site this weekend details on the 261 engine.

Can’t think of anything I need shipped south right now Bob.

Can’t leave truck alone in the yard strange things happen. Actually was moving the other donor truck into the shop to remove the engine.
