Like Klhansen said just trying to figure out what it is for sure. a 52 216 is what I thought when I first dove into this. The side cover is not tall and come up around the spark plugs. Also not concerned about it being the original motor.
Yes this form and its resources has been helpful. Im just going to go with the it being a 261 until i can disprove that.
Thanks fattboyz
