 Roger, i like the way you think. That 261 all hopped up will look and run great in your 55 Chev. In case you do not know this already, there are a couple of American outfits that sell all kinds of new speed equipment for vintage GM inline sixes like the 261. There is LANGDON'S STOVE BOLT SIX near Detroit, Mich., U.S.A. and PATRICK'S in Casa Grande, Arizona, U.S.A. Both are very solid companies. Good luck with your project and be sure to post photos of your 55 and 261. Cheers. George.

Roger, it is too bad you are so far away. I have an extra 261 of 1957 vintage. It is 80% complete and spins, never been seized. Good luck with your search. Cheers. George.
