Looking at my newly acquired 1959 Chevy 3200 Apache Stepside with a poorly painted 235 in it. (I also have a 53 3100 as well and that truck has an original 216 which looks closer to this engine)
I thought the later 235s had no top bolts (studs) in the middle of the rocker cover. Is this just a case of an older engine being installed in a later truck? Anyone see anything else suspicious or out of line with these photos? Anything else to check? See anything in the video?
Thoughts???
Thanks!!!
