Jeffrey,

So, you know the engine, the transmission, and need to know the rear-end.

Sorry, if I missed it above: what codes did you find on the rear-end?

Anything else you want to ID?

Are there huck-style brakes front and rear?

The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
