The only major difference I can think of would be the head gasket. The 261 gasket will have a larger cylinder bore size (3 3/4" instead of 3 9/16") and vent holes in the gasket between cylinders for the "steam holes" in the block and head. Other stuff like intake/exhaust, valve cover, fuel pump, etc. should interchange with a 235.
