The sure fire way is to use the block casting number - go to Inliner's
International's web page for the casting number list. A Charlie Baker
rebuilding article (from The 12 Port News) also says that the full pressure oil
filtering 261s will have 1/2 inch oil lines coming out of the drivers side of
the block going to the oil filter (the 235s are 1/4 or 3/8 - I can't remember
which). (other obvious ways are bore size and "steam holes" in the block)
261s are getting dang scarce. If you find one, make sure it finds a good home
and not the crusher.

Is there a visible way to tell a 261 from a 235 such as motor # or any
characteristics?
