OK so about 2 weeks ago i got a 261 engine and a spare 261 block planning to make it a few yer rebuild project on the side. My reasoning for doing the 261 was that all my current 235 performance parts would bolt right up and swap over when changing engines.

Should i just bite the bullet and go big and build a 292 instead? Internal rebuild parts are easier to find its easy to still find performance parts and i would get considerably more power from the engine.

I believe i need to only install new motor mounts for the front of the engine to mount in my 52 1300 but im currently looking into this. I also hear the rad can possibly stay in the stock location providing you use a pusher electric fan (not sure if that 100% true)
