high pressure 235 vs (USA) 261 installed in a 1953 truck:

buoymaker gives good advice/response

please correct/amend the following list:

car 235s have hydraulic lifters
truck 235s have mechanical lifters
all USA 261s have mechanical lifters

you will be Pre-68 Dave's water pump relocator/adapter (and, most likely you original from motor-mount "plate")

depending on the year 235/261 the motor mounts will be different from the original-engine's

you should be able to use your radiator hose set-up on either

you would most likely have to do a little rerouting/bending of fuel lines on either

both will have larger exhaust/intake manifold ports compared to the 216

both will most likely need adapted/new fuel lines?

both can use your old clutch-housing/clutch-assembly/u-joint assembly and rear motor mounts
