Thanks for the translation. I'm also building (or helping my neighbor build)a hopped up 261 to go in my truck. I'm pretty much doing all the above with the addition of HEI and increasing the stroke w/292 rods and using caddy pistons. The bore will be .050 over. I'm also using a milled 848 head with powerglide intake valves. The machine shop should be done with the block any time now.
