Ross, see your from Maple Park, got a friend I worked with for 25 years lives there, Kenny Schultz. I'm just down the street in Sandwich.
I just picked up a '50, 3/4 ton that I am in the process of restoring, if you would like to communicate heres my Email; dgraham@indianvalley.com
I had a couple of 261's back in the 60's in a '60 Biscayne, good engine. I was a partsman for Chevrolet out in the suburbs at the time and don't remember ever having a problem with them.
Gene sounds like he knows his stuff, I'd take his advise.
