CGT gets a 261
Pulled the 235 out the day after we came back from the convoy,the engine just needs a crank grind and bearings so I thought now would be just as good a time to put a 261 in as any. I typed 261 in craigslist in the Vancouver area and got a hit in Chilliwack;just 70 miles away! A hot rodder wanted to get rid of his 261 with only 3000 miles on it, so we made a deal for $600 and I got a duel exhaust manifold thrown in. Talk about a good day. The following weekend I re-gasket-ed the 261 and got the engine back in the CGT.
A few modifications, an oil cooler, dual exhaust, fan shroud and most important a tach!
