Didn't the engines for Powerglide applications have hydraulic valve lifters starting 1n 1953 or 1954? (In addition to pressure-oiled rods.)

I have a late 261 with the factory provision for an external full-flow oil filter that has some scratches in a couple of cylinders, so it needs to be bored.

Just today, I bought, sight unseen a supposedly good running "Doodle Bug" with a 235 in it. NOT sure what year it is, but he claims it has the 4-bolt valve covers (I can't remember if they all did).

Here's a couple of links you MAY find helpful...
