Just found out after shipping it to a shop that the head on my 261 is cracked. Anyone parting out or has a head available, I would love to hear from you. I am located in the Cincinnati, Oh. area.

I seem to recall hearing somewhere that a 235 head would fit a 261, the only difference being the small coolant circulation holes between the chambers needed to be drilled on the 235 head to match up with the holes between the cylinders in the 261 block. I can't verify - maybe some of the other Bolters can. Good luck!

Poppa bear has it right you can use a 235 head on the 261 with the holes matching you head gasket.
