 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.

thanks for the tips on sourcing the parts,  I have already bought the Fenton intake and split cast manifold, and carbs.  I think I bought them from Patricks?  it was a couple of years ago...

just need to drive 5 hours south to pick up my 261,, havn't been able to find anything local...yet...

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.

I'm glad to see it sold.

Someone got a great deal.

This is a real slick setup, and allows for the sue of a stock shifter - this is about hte best way to have an overdriven manual transmission in a vintage car... as long as you are aware of the Saginaw's torque capacity.
