First question: The rear main seal for the 1960 261 cu. in. motor is shown in the manual as a rope seal, Is there a neoprene seal available or will I need to get another rope seal?
Second: external gaskets, In particular the valve cover,lifter gallery, and oilpan, are these gaskets the same size as the 235 cu. in. motor or specific to the 261?
