I mounted my 216 on my stand which has four wheels and two horizontal legs. It would be the same as the 235. I used Tim's (tclederman) idea to mount it. At the back of the block I used the four holes. The top arms of the stand can not be positioned for the holes in the block. So instead I used the top arms as spacers and put the top bolts directly through to the block. I used the bottom arms as they are. The one problem that I had was that the bottom arms were longer and the bolts on the stand would contact the rotary fixture. When I do this again this winter I will use the shorter arms on the bottom. Tim had a great photo in one of his posts and I haven't been able to find it.

As far as being balanced, it is workable this way. removing the head changes the center of gravity and then removing the crankshaft also changes it. I use a breaker bar inserted as the turning handle for leverage.
