Make sure it's a '53 PG, a '54 or 55 1st. A 261 in these years would be great,
but tough to find. Consider the high cost of rebuilding, start with the block
you really want. The wrong height fan in post 55 is a giveaway. The lack of tall
side cover is also but I know of no cure for that. I've gotten so I don't care
anymore if people know it's not the original 216, though I have fooled a few
people, initially even renowned Bob Adler :>).
