You'll need a different starter, along with a different ignition switch and some minor rewiring. Stomp start was not an option on the V-8's. Depending on the year, you'll need one of a couple of different styles of front motor mounts. I believe the radiator can be re-used, but there might be some problems with hose routing. You'll also need to buy or build a fan shroud because of the distance from the radiator to the engine. IM me or send an email- - - -I might have some of the swap parts you'll need from my 59 Burb that's getting a Cadillac 500 transplant and your 261 is good horsetrading material, even with a bad crankshaft.
