Hello, new member here. Great website, great tech info!
A little background. I purchased a '55 1st series, 3600, sitting for roughly 30 years. Rust in the typical places on the body, engine locked up. Pulled the head, rust in cyl #3.
I figured head gasket leaking, or a cracked cylinder, OR moisture from an open intake valve and no carb on the intake and nothing plugging the hole.
Meanwhile, I located a '59 261 block, crank and rods, already machined! (I hope all is to size!). The 261 will require the Dave Folsom water pump relocation plate, but
is no longer listed on E-bay, and I cannot find a link to communicate with him. I can fab one up, if I have to, but are they still available to purchase?
More later on the 235, it gets better, or worse, depending on how it's viewed.
Thanks in advance, Gary
