Measure the length of the head bolts you need and go to either the Dorman or Pioneer open stock head bolt listings. They're simply 1/2"-13 Grade 8 head bolts, nothing fancy about them. You might consider using Grade 8 SAE flat washers under the bolt heads. Bolts for a 54-62 235 will work, also.

Carl , The two cylinder guide pins get screwed into the cylinder block Front & Rear holes on the manifold side of the engine . This holds the gasket in position so you can guide the cylinder head into place . You can do a trial fit when the block & head are super clean . Screw the guides thru the head gasket . You could go to the hardware store & buy a couple of carriage bolts - 1/2 " - 13 x 5 or 6 inches and cut the heads off to use as guides . PIC https://i.postimg.cc/FsPJfZVH/261-head.jpgGeorge '54 3600

Carl -- I removed your phone number from your post -- that sort of Personally Identifiable Information is best left to PM's or email.
And by the way, have you read our Tech Tip on 261 rebuilding?
