A while ago a guy offered me a 261 engine -- I am pasting in his
email from October 16. He might still have it. I think it was on
Craig's List.

It sounds like you have it right.
The way you will learn more about this is by doing what you are doing.
Inline sixes are extremely good motors and while they don't put out the
high RPM horses that a v-8 does they do everything else better.
They produce more torque at lower rpms, they run quieter, cooler and get
better mileage, they are perfect truck motors and will run as smooth as
a sewing machine or can be hopped up for more performance.
The v-8 was adopted because they are less expensive to manufacture.
A short block refers to the block and everything in it, minus the head.
Block, pistons, rods, crank, bearings, cam, oil pump etc.
I don't know if he meant a built shortblock or a rebuildable core, if
he's thinking of building a motor for you then he probably means a core.
I would want $600 for my 261 + $150 if you wanted the rods.
They are beefier than the 235 rods.
A well built 235 will last 150,000 miles
