My bottom line -- go for the/any 261. 216 to 235 is a good upgrade. 216 to a 261 is a better one Settle for a 235 if you can't find a 261. - Amen Tim 1954Advance-Design.com 1954 3106 Carryall Suburban 1954 3104 5-window pickup w/Hydra-Matic The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
