Some oldtime nanufacturer used to make them,Mcgurk or Nicson I think. I have a 1952 J.C. Whitney catalog where you can purchase a 216 shortblock with the 235 crank. But I highly doubt that's what you have. Someone probably converted the babbit rods to inserts at a previous rebuild. If done properly they're fine.
As for the bolt holes on the balancer,they're 3/8"-18 or course thread.
I like the factory shop manual best. | | |
