Thanks,Panic
Thanks Dave,

So if I go with the '58 235 which I think I'm leaning toward,
I hit up Dave for the water pump adapter, use my pump and fan, my balancer and pully, generator (12v), my fly wheel, starter and bell.

I will still have to do all of the above if I go with the used 261. (That is enough for me to do for now, I am not prepared to rebuild the 261, (or even the 235) at this time.

On the 235 long block use my manifolds, but with a better carb. and could I go with the
A-Team HEI DISTRIBUTOR 65KCOIL Early Chevrolet Straight 6 41-62 194 216 235 BLUE?
