I don't have the Clifford Single carb set up, but I do have the clifford dual 38/38 weber set up on one of my vehicles with a 261. The manifold is excellent, the casting polishes up beautifully. Provisions for vacuum for the wiper or gauges whatever, and provision for water heat to the bottom of the intake. The dual set up runs pretty good on the 261,but the 261 is really modified. Personally, I think the dual 38s are probably a bit too big for a 235 but I have not used them on a 235 so I don't know that would be the case for certain. On the other hand if you are looking for good highway gas mileage, these dual 38/38 carbs are not for you, all the bbls open at the same time and they can run through some fuel.
Now on a single 38/38 carb application on the Clifford, I think that might be very workable. While I don't believe a single 32/36 progressive is enough for even a 235, I do believe a single 38/38 non-progressive would be enough and would be a pretty good carb to run on the Clifford manifold (but not on a stock intake with an adapter - too big for the adapter)
So for duals on a 235, I think the 32/36s I think are a better a better choice for a 235 if you want dual carbs, on a Clifford or a vintage intake with adapters. I ran an old weiand 2X1 with adapters and a pair of 23/36 pinto carbs for well over twenty years. They ran great right out of the box. No real fussing and they looked great. If you want the look of a dual carb set up for cruising around, you can do it less expensively with a vintage manifold, adapters and the pinto carbs.
Single 38/38 on the Clifford, I think that would run well.
Finally, you could also call Clifford and ask him if he will sell you a dual intake and carb plates and run a pair of 32/36 carbs on a 235.
