I switched out a 216 for a 261 in a suburban. U can keep foot starter, use 216 bellhousing, motor mounts same unless front mounts are different. Use your 216 timing plate with lower mounting bolts if needed. Foot stomper hardware will transfer with Bellhousing. 216 starter and flywheel should switch over if I remember correctly.
200.00 is a great price.
U can get around water pump easy enough with adapter plate and short shaft pump.
