I just did this conversion last month with a 261. You need a '41 water pump (gets you the 5/8" wide pulley to match the truck damper), a water pump adapter plate found on E-bay, and a six bolt 139-tooth flywheel found on '39 to '54 engines. Everything else just bolts together and you can use the original clutch, 3-speed and stomp starter.
