Did you call Patrick's and talk to them? I bought 0.010 main and rod bearings for my 261 from them two years ago. Are not 261 and late 235 rod and main bearings the same? You could also try Chevy's of the forties or Jim Carter's Antique Trucks, or Egge. Are your main bearings the the tang or pin type? I have seen replacement engines for the 1954 261 that use the tang type, but the original 1954 261s used the pin type.
