All, We have an old 261 on the farm that had a cracked head. I'm looking at buying a 1948 chevy 4400 that I believe has a 235 in it. Would the head from the earlier 235 work on the 261?

Thanks for the help.

I think there are some steam holes in the 261 top deck that are missing from the 235 head. Maybe there not needed?? I am sure someone here has a more definite answer than my I don't think so.

It depends on what kind of 235 it is. It has to be a '55-up 235, previous 235's had differant bolt patterns.

If you post the head casting code, we should be able to tell you more about that head working on a 261.
