Ik might be able to get a chevy 216 engine or a 235.
Would that be any good?
Both need reconditioning...

Default Your choice.....

For purist accurate restoration go for the 216....

For ease of rebuilding. more power and fun of driving go for the 235.

Cheers

Which 235 are you referring to Bob? There would be little difference between rebuilding a 216 and a first series (WW2) 235 as many parts interchange and construction is identical.

Hi Dave

Good point, people definitely want to look for the later 235 with better lubrication system.

But if all you can find is the early 235 and the price is right it is better than nothing, by a long shot.

Cheers Phil

I changed a 216 to a 235 and i had to move the rad .I think the water pump was the problem and not the block it self
