Also post the head casting number, that should help. My '62 261 has a head casting number of 3836850. Since you are in Canada, it is likely a Canadian Pontiac 261. US Chevy 261's have full flow oil filtration with 1/2" NPT oil lines to and from the block, but I don't think Canadian ones have this feature.
