Yes it does, and the 848 is THE BEST head to have!

235 and 261 heads interchange if steam holes are drilled in the 235 head. Most 261's have been rebuilt before and war heads that came from 235's.

8's, 9's and 3's are hard to distinguish on the castings! To guarantee it is a 261, look for a pair of bars right above the starter. Check this link out for more details and pictures: http://www.oldchevytrucks.com/cgi/htmlos.exe/003035.5.2723214209400006236
