the C8 I am working on

The first thing to get thrown under the bus on my restorations is the 216 engine. The 15 cwt came with a 235 engine and was a step up in power from a 216. The C60 had no engine so a 235 was put together for it, a 261 would have been better, harder to find. The C8 came with an original 216 that was seized solid from many years of sitting. I found a really good 235 for it and am very pleased with it. The early 235 production engine was an oil splasher like the 216 but I have the later full oil pressure ones. Perhaps not the purists way of restoring to original but I don't have a 74 year old time bomb waiting to go off.
