You'll hit water long before you get the 235 bored big enough to take the 261 pistons! The only way it might work would be to bore it out big enough to accept 3.75" by .125" wall-thickness sleeves, and turn the 235 into a wet-sleeve engine. We've done that on a few race engines, notably 2.3 liter Ford 4-cylinders with 307 Chevy V-8 pistons, but it's going to be a very short-life engine. Your best bet will be to find another 261 block somewhere.
