I have a chance to purchase a 261 that needs rebuilding (broken connecting rod) and put it in place of my 216.

My questions

What kind of HP and torque upgrade will this be? I don't know much about the HP and torque on the 216.

What is a fair price for a rebuildable 261. He wants $200 which in these parts seems fair.

What should I expect to pay to rebuild a 261. I may want to do the assembly myself.

If it can be built ... It can be fixed.
