If your looking for an easy engine to swap out a 235, I would go 261. If I remember correct you should run the 261 head, get the complete engine if you can.

What are you swapping?

I currently am without an engine for the truck. It is a 1960 C10. I do have the factory origional 235 sitting in storage but as the cab is going in for rust repair this winter I cannot afford to rebuild an engine at the moment and the 235 would indeed need a rebuild.
