Make sure to check the rear frame rails closely for rot.

If you think an 81 is slow with a 260, you should try a 75 with one. My very first car was a 1975 Cutlass S with a 260 and that thing topped out at 70 mph. At least the 80 I had buried the 85 mph speedo with no issues. Luckily swapping in a 350 into the 80 was easy and came only 2 weeks after purchase. Then the parade of blown rear ends followed.
