235 ci engine
Some of those Lend Lease Chevs have the 235 ci engine fitted, still with the same dipper big end lubrication the 216 has. The post war 235 ( 53 on ?) is a completely different engine .
I wish I had a dollar for every Lend Lease Chev I have seen ... they must have sold thousands of them here . I recall some original ones on the road still , back in the 1970's ,with their wartime issued number plates , typically with a E or F two letter prefix .One I recall ( a tipper ),had a FU prefix and you can imagine the sitirring it provoked .
