thanks for the replies, and sorry I haven't replied sooner. I had to carry my dad to the E.R Friday so I have been pretty busy. I checked with the 3 machine shops we have here already. they could turn the crankshaft I have but I would have to pick up the bearings some where else. And I knew that the crank would works in either a 261 or 235 but wasn't sure what years would work. I found that Rock auto had some remans that come with the bearings and they are asking $267.00 + $33.00 for shipping and also charge a $150.00 refundable core charge. My wife found a coupon for %5 off so that would pay for half the shipping. I replaced the crank in a 65 235 and picked up the crank and bearings separately. I ended up with having to return the bearings twice because they had sent the wrong ones. So I figured get the crank and bearings as a kit and wouldn't have the problem. I might spend a extra 15 bucks but at least I would not have the head ache of having the wrong bearings.
