Jerry, Thanks for the warm welcome and the encouragement! I am looking forward to the Journey and where it will take me with this project. I am not in any hurry. I was told the later model 235's (1955 - later) were/are better than the earlier (1954 - earlier) engines due to the oil handling among other things which is why the later model 235 was chosen. My friend obtained a known good engine at a very attractive price which is more in line with my budget at the moment. I have found a wealth of knowledge on this forum and look forward to having you all along on the journey. Hopefully one day I will have something to add back to the collective.
Patrick
