There is also more aftermarket stuff available for them. If I can, I will attach a pic of my 235--of course boring a 261 engine to .060 over like my 235 would bring you very close to the 292 C.I. for the best of both worlds!

Uh-Uh no way....
the later engines are way superior. They have much better oiling systems. They have individual light weight valve train rather than the rocker shaft stuff.
They have real rear main seals rather than rope ones. I could go on and on.
My 54 Chevy car had a 235 and I learned about them first hand. It now has a 350 V8 in it and I'm very happy.
Besides, I already have 2 of the later series 6 cylinder engines.
