just some research w/ the pros...

1. does anyone have a picture of an 848 head they have installed on their 261 AFTER they drilled out the "steam holes". i dont have a gasket set yet but am working on the head to get as much accomplished in the crappy weather here in the NE. I have gone throught the usual 261 build articles but cant find a visual reference.

2. Reading the Mcgurk article Soup that Chev (May 55 HRM) They refer to using a powerglide 53 or any 54 oilpan on the bottom of the 261 for clearnce purposes in the 37 to 54 cars and trucks. has anyone had to do this or is it even necessary? My 261 is going in a 46 1/2 ton pu.

thanks again folks
